“Only a psychopath would ever think of doing these things, only a psychopath would dream of abusing other people in such a way, only a psychopath would treat people as less than human just for money. The shocking truth is, even though they now have most if not all of the money, they want still more, they want all of the money that you have left in your pockets, they want it all because they have no empathy with other people, with other creatures, they have no feeling for the world which they exploit, they have no love or sense of being or belonging for their souls are dead, dead to all things but greed and a desire to rule over others.”
Arun D. Ellis, Corpalism

“Let’s de-bunk some of this, shall we? Myth 1– Kings and Queens are divine beings – rubbish. Kings and queens of old were murdering bastards who ruled with a rod of iron. Myth 2 – the rich prosper out of godliness – more rubbish. They gained their wealth by royal patronage and taxing and stealing from the masses. Myth 3 - the poor are poor because they’re depraved – yet more rubbish. They’re poor because of their naivety and childlike belief in, oh yes, Kings and Queens, the Church and the order of things. Finally, Myth 4 - women are evil and deliberately seductive – the biggest nonsense of all. Women are sexually attractive to men because they are the opposite sex to men; it’s not hard to see, is it? It’s the same for every species on the planet, you can see it in any mating ritual on the Discovery channel but this truth has been reversed and buried under the eternal lie fostered upon us by the church. That’s what the bible has achieved and that’s why our society is divided and divided again. That’s why we are never working as one, because religion was designed to divide and rule the masses,” she broke off and looked deliberately round the room, “but the big question is, for what purpose and by whom?”

Hi Faith

Yes, I'm just over half-way through, but I've been a bit distracted by Hilary Mantel: I find the two novels she's written so far in her Wolf Hall trilogy absolutely gripping. And above all they're easier: I'm having to re-read a lot of Ulysses and also read round it: as you suggest, it's not always easy, and I want to understand what's going on...

I'll go back to it in a week or two and keep you posted on progress.

Your comment on Finnegan's Wake confirms a view I'd already developed, from discussion with others too: I think I'll be giving it a miss...

Keep well

David

Faith Colburn I see you are reading Ulysses. Let me know how that comes out. I once wrote a graduate term paper on the book and I swear that was the most challenging paper I ever undertook. I chose the book before I had a chance to look at it. I'm just glad it wasn't Finnegan's Wake.
