a good play, a good poem,
a good song, a good anything
is not a formula or a pill.
I feel I am always in the gap between two or more selves, and there is a nothingness in
that gap. What I feel is blankness… an in-between… a splitting apart… in the cracks
between things. That doesn’t seem like a feeling. It seems like a lack. A place. I am in
that place most of the time… I exist in the cracks between possible selves…
A long-term goal of psychoanalytic treatment with patients who suffer
mortification is its transformation into shame, which includes the capacity to
tolerate it and to use it as a signal. This long process entails working through both
the early mortifying traumas as well as the unstable defenses related to them.
Without such transformation, the individual is left with two unstable narcissistic
defenses:
self-damning, deflated states designed to appease and hold on to self objects,
narcissistic conceit, designed to project the defective self-experiences onto self-objects.
Both defensive styles require continued dependence on self objects
and must be mounted again and again.
Tolerating bearable shame can make self-appraisal
and self-tolerance possible, ultimately leading to
psychic separation and self-reliance.

“I am he; I have felt it. I know now my own image …
I am he, I burn with love of my own self
… he dimmed the pool with tears, and the image
became obscured by the stirring water …
until it departed.
(cited in Orlowsky and Orlowsky, 1992, p. 74)
Narcissus’ life ends prematurely;
he is an adolescent unable to grow old.
What did he recognize in his reflection?
Perhaps his desire and the experience of ultimately
never being able to attain the love of the other,
while depending on it for his existence.
Narcissus thus recognizes himself
as a separate, extremely lonely and
isolated, dependent and needy being:
a fatal conclusion for a narcissist.
Narcissus’ tragedy consists of being unable to live as a human being and, respectively, with the awareness
of his own ageing and dying, since he is
incapable of being in a relationship.
The narcissistic defensive position is characterized by an addictive yearning
for an experiential quality where feelings of helplessness and despair,
induced by separation or mortification, are to be revoked.
Omnipotent fantasies, actions and reactions are intended
to allow control over an out-of-control situation.
To the gods alone old age and death never come,
but everything else sinks into the chaos of time
which overpowers all.
Earth’s strength decays, and so too the strength of the body.

According to Horkheimer and Adorno, the source of today's disaster is a pattern of blind domination, domination in a triple sense: the domination of nature by human beings, the domination of nature within human beings, and, in both of these forms of domination, the domination of some human beings by others. What motivates such triple domination is an irrational fear of the unknown:
"Humans believe themselves free of fear when there is no longer anything unknown. This has determined the path of demythologization … . Enlightenment is mythical fear radicalized"
In an unfree society whose culture pursues so-called progress no matter what the cost, that which is "other," whether human or nonhuman, gets shoved aside, exploited, or destroyed.
The means of destruction may be more sophisticated in the modern West, and the exploitation may be less direct than outright slavery, but blind, fear-driven domination continues, with ever greater global consequences.
The all-consuming engine driving this process is an ever-expanding capitalist economy, fed by scientific research and the latest technologies.
What a critical social theory really needs to address is why hunger, poverty, and other forms of human suffering persist despite the technological and scientific potential to mitigate them or to eliminate them altogether. The root cause, Adorno says, lies in how capitalist relations of production have come to dominate society as a whole, leading to extreme, albeit often invisible, concentrations of wealth and power (ND 189-92).
Society has come to be organized around the production of exchange values for the sake of producing exchange values, which, of course, always already requires a silent appropriation of surplus value. Adorno refers to this nexus of production and power as the "principle of exchange" (Tauschprinzip). A society where this nexus prevails is an "exchange society" (Tauschgesellschaft).
Arguably, the idea of "truth content" (Wahrheitsgehalt) is the pivotal center around which all the concentric circles of Adorno's aesthetics turn (Zuidervaart 1991; Wellmer 1991, 1-35 ; Jarvis 1998, 90-123). To gain access to this center one must temporarily suspend standard theories about the nature of truth (whether as correspondence, coherence, or pragmatic success) and allow for artistic truth to be dialectical, disclosive, and nonpropositional.
According to Adorno, each artwork has its own import (Gehalt) by virtue of an internal dialectic between content (Inhalt) and form (Form). This import invites critical judgments about its truth or falsity. To do justice to the artwork and its import, such critical judgments need to grasp both the artwork's complex internal dynamics and the dynamics of the sociohistorical totality to which the artwork belongs. The artwork has an internal truth content to the extent that the artwork's import can be found internally and externally either true or false. Such truth content is not a metaphysical idea or essence hovering outside the artwork. But neither is it a merely human construct. It is historical but not arbitrary; nonpropositional, yet calling for propositional claims to be made about it; utopian in its reach, yet firmly tied to specific societal conditions. Truth content is the way in which an artwork simultaneously challenges the way things are and suggests how things could be better, but leaves things practically unchanged:
"Art has truth as the semblance of the illusionless" (AT 132).
But thinking in contradictions is also forced upon philosophy by society itself. Society is riven with fundamental antagonisms, which, in accordance with the exchange principle, get covered up by identitarian thought. The only way to expose these antagonisms, and thereby to point toward their possible resolution, is to think against thought—in other words, to think in contradictions.
It has a fragile, transformative horizon, namely, a society that would no longer be riven with fundamental antagonisms, thinking that would be rid of the compulsion to dominate through conceptual identification, and the flourishing of particular objects in their particularity. Because Adorno is convinced that contemporary society has the resources to alleviate the suffering it nevertheless perpetuates, his negative dialectics has a utopian reach: "In view of the concrete possibility of utopia, dialectics is the ontology of the false condition. A right condition would be freed from dialectics, no more system than contradiction" (ND 11). Such a "right condition" would be one of reconciliation between humans and nature, including the nature within human beings, and among human beings themselves.
The priority of import also informs Adorno's stance on art and politics, which derives from debates with Lukács, Benjamin, and Bertolt Brecht in the 1930s (Lunn 1982; Zuidervaart 1991, 28-43). Because of the shift in capitalism's structure, and because of Adorno's own complex emphasis on (modern) art's autonomy, he doubts both the effectiveness and the legitimacy of tendentious, agitative, or deliberately consciousness-raising art. Yet he does see politically engaged art as a partial corrective to the bankrupt aestheticism of much mainstream art. Under the conditions of late capitalism, the best art, and politically the most effective, so thoroughly works out its own internal contradictions that the hidden contradictions in society can no longer be ignored. The plays of Samuel Beckett, to whom Adorno had intended to dedicate Aesthetic Theory, are emblematic in that regard. Adorno finds them more true than many other artworks.

with some gated communities beside the jails
and people i have spoken to--- say it is safe.
I believe now the jails are incredibly secure.
The proposed area for mining is half in the town and half in properly zoned land. So before the mine can go ahead they need approval from the city…the governor, back a while, agreed this sounded like a good plan
as it would create jobs which are sorely lacking in Arizona…
but then the owner of the phoenix suns bought apiece of adjacent land 4500 acres for residential development and is saying the mine might contaminate future drinking water…(that’s the spin…really he just wants to make money)
which is just might…
the Curis boys say the water to extract the copper is no stronger than lemon juice mixed with water but i kind of doubt that…the Hunter/Dickenson boys are taking advantage of a sluggish economy and trying to push the mine through though with Carver against them it will be an uphill battle…the only thing in that stock is the proposal to build the mine and if that gets shut down then the stock is worth nothing and going through a million a month…either way someone made money.

Received: Saturday, August 13, 2011, 12:43 PMHey Gareth, I just wanted to get some clarification on your question. Are you asking how the exchange rates are regulated or how fees to remit funds are determined? Or perhaps something else entirely? I'm not 100% certain on either, but I would assume MTOs have much more control over remittance fees than they do exchange rates. I'll look into it a little bit more with Western Union. Let me know if we're on the same page!

Now what does ACORN stand for, some thing like this
Association of communitiy organizers who are looking for reform…now…
the last letter was just added because no one wanted to believe ACOR sounded good and every knows that an acorn can grow into a mighty oak tree…so the name is to inspire big thinking which reform is not really about…more of a tweaking of the system…and a day to day trudging…the more you look at the world the more you see the man made systems which underlie capitalism.
I am studying remittances world wide as we have the sneaking suspicion that the banks may be preying on the poor but sending money to some places is cheap…here is the world bank campaign and the numbers.
http://remittanceprices.worldbank.org/
Now their goal is is to have the rate lowered to 5% in the next five years from the current 10% and put another 16 billion dollars into the hands of the people who will actually use the money to survive as opposed to the remittance corporations.
The president of western union made 8.2 million dollars last year…
can you imagine?
Money sent as aid by charities and corporations has a less than 100% chance of being used by the intended recipient as the agencies, the governments, the warlords take their share…but twenty dollars sent from a brother to sister is well used and more effective way to combat poverty.
So limiting the fees to 5% worldwide is one proposal

The rest is a direct quote from the
Bottom Fish Newsletter.
“It is this full-fledged entitlement expectation which is at the heart of the potential for Medicare expenses to skyrocket as the boomers age, a trend that barring an extraordinary economic boom, tax revenue increases cannot hope to cover. Medicare is the elephant in the room; can its throat be slit without anybody noticing?
It's too late for that, and the Tea Party seems to be stuck with the knife in its hand while the rest of the voters watch.
In a sense Obama was not the only politician to be bloodied by the debt ceiling crisis; the Tea Party has been lured into going beyond vague "big government" complaints or inconsequential cut targets.
Once they show their hand they will be abandoned by mainstream Republicans who will trot out a candidate with a vision that includes revenues and cuts, one capable of beating the Great Disappointment
if he is given a chance to run for a second term.
As the "flash crash" continues to erode the net worth of households, particularly those who were counting on using the extended tax cut to cash in some capital gains, the mood will shift from childish power politics to
old-fashioned pragmatism based on the exceptionalist notion that what's good for everybody is probably even better for me”.

Special Interest Comment - July 25, 2011: BE confirms reported results were too good to be true
In terms of the revised grades themselves, there appears to be no exact relationships with the original grades, except to note that the revised grades were generally lower. Of the nine reported intersections, two low-grade intersections from hole DH3 remained unchanged, at 1.89% and 0.26% TREO. Several others intersections from hole DH3 appear to have had the decimal point off by one position, with revised grades all moving lower in a predicatable manner, from 9.12% to 0.91%, from 19.58% to 1.95%, and 7.80% to 0.78%. Finally four lowered intersections appear to have no discernable relation to the initially reported grades, such as the intercept in DH1 which moved from 8.85% to 0.69%, or DH2, which moved from 10.34% to 1.56%. DH19 also reported two randomly revised intercepts, from 15.04% to 0.97% and 1.2% to 0.09%. While the revisions referred to overall grades, no indication was given as to whether the reported light/heavy breakdowns remain valid as originally published.
So far no indication has been given relative to when the stock will resume trading. When the stock does resume however one can assume that Friday's gains will be an unfortunate memory, particularly for the buyers of the 31 million shares that traded on the venture exchange that day. Our earlier comment on the stock suggested readers exercise caution and to avoid the stock given the numerous uncertainties regarding the nature of the reported intercepts and of the overall project itself. We continue to maintain that counsel, for while the latest news release did revise the grades, no effort was made to address the other issues we noted, such as geological context, publishing a complete drill plan map, or an explanation for why there was no mention of beryllium in the assays from this project that was originally a beryllium project. While it is true that some of the intercepts remain intriguing even in revised form, particularly two from hole DH3 which report, post-revisons, 98 and 32 feet of 1.95% and 1.89% TREO, with 39% and 32% heavies, respectively, we feel there remains enough uncertainty regarding the overall situation of the company that steering clear of this stock even at lower prices remains, for now, the most prudent course. --BD
JK note: IIROC, the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, cancelled all 10,663 trades representing volume of 49,324,463 shares through the TSXV and the various parallel trading platforms whose primary purpose seems to be to create aribitrage opportunities for brokers and traders as well as extra minimum commissions by fragmenting an order across multiple platforms, and to restore an uneven playing field for ordinary investors who had grown accustomed to using the market depth of the TSXV order book to assess liquidity conditions. The IIROC news release gave no indication that it is mounting an investigation to explain the news release mistakes, whose corrections had to be corrected again the following day. One imagines, however, that some traders who thought they had made money trading BE and reinvested it elsewhere may very well turn to the courts to seek redress for any losses suffered as a result of this arbitrary decision to cancel profitable trades. They would probably base their case on the argument that the TSX/TSXV and Canadian investment banking establishment have gone out of their way to facilitate the destruction of fundamentals based price discovery in order to accommodate high-frequency trading by both humans and programs, and consequently an arithmetic boo-boo in a news is hardly sufficient reason to cancel trades, much as a $2 trillion boo-boo by S&P was hardly a reason not to proceed with downgrading US debt from AAA to AA+ and expelling the United States from a club of AAA nations dominated by universal healthcare providers.
You may also note that in our BE chart above it shows only 31,253,500 shares trading for July 22. The TSXV trading data most people see does not include any trades not conducted through the TSX/TSXV itself, which results in a false portrait of actual volumes. The availability of these parallel trading platforms also makes it easier for fund managers to arrange trades with their pals tjhat stuff toxic waste into their accounts or shuffle toxic waste elsewhere. Anybody who claims that the existence of parallel order books and execution systems that are not consolidated and visible to everybody with an automatic first come first serve execution priority is anything but bad for market integrity and liquidity is either monstrously stupid or an outright criminal. Furthermore, why the TSXV would allow a direct interface between its order execution system and algorithmic trading programs for a stock exchange specializing in venture capital listings which struggle to get potential speculators to visualize the sought-after outcome of the venture and what it might be worth if achieved, and allow fee-less trading by these technical trading machines which make no effort to borrow paper when shorting on a down-tick, while punishing human investors who have actually thought about the listing's fundamental success potential with comparatively high fees, defies comprehension except perhaps as a demonstration of "penny wise pound foolish".
Rare Element Resources Ltd (RES-T: $9.29)
Rare Element Resources Ltd did not pick a particularly good day on August 4, 2011 to release news that may have major implications for the urgency with which its 100% owned Bear Lodge rare earth project gets developed. But if the turmoil in general markets does escalate during the next week or so, spec value hunters should consider some bargain hunting on the premise that Rare Element has discovered a new zone of heavy rare earth enriched mineralization at Bear Lodge. Rare Element announced results for several RC holes Newmont had drilled on gold targets to the northwest and southwest of the Whitetail Ridge and Bull Hill rare earth zones but never assayed for rare earth elements, which was understandable given that the deal did not entitle Newmont to any rare earth credits (Newmont has since dropped out). The gold story so far has been a low grade dud while the Bull Hill rare earth deposit on which Rare Element is conducting a prefeasibility study is the basis for the junior's valuation. A Rare Element geologist called Allen Andersen noted what appeared to be rare earth mineralization similar to the FMR dykes at Bull Hill, so the junior had the left over chips assayed. The Carbon zone yielded 30 ft of 4.69% TREO and the East Taylor yielded 55 ft of 3.38% TREO and 55 ft of 7.84% TREO within the interval 45-160 ft.
These grades are similar to what Bull Hill has yielded, but have a substantially higher proportion of the heavy rare earths.The chart above shows the distribution of rare earths from Bull Hill if the recovery for the 10,300 tonnes per annum Rare Element hopes to produce is uniform, while the chart below shows how this translates into output tonnage and its value at FOB and domestic spot REO prices as of August 4, 2011.
The percentage of heavy rare earth oxides is only 3.2%, which would generate only 333 tonnes of heavies at the proposed operating rate of 907 tpd, though that is more than the 204 tonnes Molycorp will be able to squeak out of Mountain Pass annually at its full capacity of 2,200 tpd thanks to its 0.5% HREO proportion. What has hurt the market's perception of Rare Element is that it is lower grade than Mountain Pass, and will, like Mountain Pass, produce primarily light rare earths. That has pretty much ruled out Rare Element as an acquisition target for Molycorp, and pretty much by anybody because of the perception that by 2015 the world will be amply supplied by light rare earths. Rare Element has thus been moving quickly to develop Bear Lodge as a standalone project, which has helped attract a very heavy short position that now stands at 8,975,000 shares which is about 19% of the 46.8 million shares fully diluted.
The East Taylor and Carbon zones have the potential to create a massive short squeeze because they are both fairly high grade but have significantly higher percentages of heavy rare earths than the synchisite and parisite dominated Bull Hill zone. Mineralogical work by Tony Mariano indicates that the phosphate monazite may be a significant portion of the overall rare earth mineralization and is the likely host for the heavy rare earths. Synchisite and parisite are members of the bastnaesite family which generally has a very low proportion of heavy rare earths. Mountain Pass is primarily bastnaesite, though monazite zones are present in the vicinity of the main deposit. Molycorp has in the past expressed optimism about finding and developing monazite zones, but the word is that such zones rarely exceed 2% TREO. If Molycorp plans to achieve its 40,000 tpa output of rare earth oxides, it needs to stick to its 7%-9% TREO bastnaesite ore unless it is prepared to go to the regulators to permit a higher mining rate than the 2,200 tpd for which Mountain Pass is already permitted.
Rare Element has reported the two intervals in hole SUN 090 into the East Taylor zone as 110 ft averaging 5.61% TREO, with the upper 55 ft running 3.38% and the lower 55 ft 7.94%. The zone has been described as having a 250 m strike and width of 75 m, and still open toward the east. This hole also ran 1.3 g/t gold. Rare Element provided a breakdown of individual grades for all of the rare earths except the sequence holmium-erbium-thulium-ytterbium-lutetium. The company's reasons for excluding these included that they are insignificant relative to the rest and generally lack meaningful markets, though this is not the case for erbium. But when I added up the individual reported grades for the East Taylor hole I was stunned to see the grade was only 5.225% TREO compared to the 5.61% TREO reported by the company. That left 0.385% attributable to the excluded heavies, which was substantially higher than the zero left out of the 3.77% TREO grade for the Bull Hill indicated resource of 4,450,000 tonnes, the 0.02% excluded from the inferred Whitetail Ridge resource of 1.5 million tonnes of 3.24% TREO, or the 0.04% excluded from the 30 ft interval of 4.69% TREO at Carbon.
The 5.225% East Taylor interval has 12.75% heavy rare earths, jumping to 18.7% when we add in the missing 0.385% heavies bringing the total grade to 5.61% TREO. The basket prices for the 5.225% rock using Metal-Pages prices as of August 4, 2011 were $321/kg for FOB spot, $151/kg for domestic spot, $56/kg for 3 year FOB average, and $28/kg at 3 year domestic average. In rock value terms on a 100% recoverable basis this works out to $17,773/t at FOB spot, $7,893/t at domestic spot, $2,929/t at 3 year FOB and $1,444/t at 3 year domestic prices. The Carbon interval of 4.65% TREO has 10.65% heavies, jumping to 11.41% if we include the heavies for which individual grades are missing, bringing the grade to 4.69% TREO. The Whitetail Ridge inferred resource of 3.22% has 8.68% heavies, jumping to 9.25% heavies if we add in the 0.02% represented by the missing individual grades. The rock value of the Whitetail Ridge resource is $10,196/t at FOB spot and $4,811/t at domestic spot.
Conclusion: There is clearly a mineralogical shift happening in the rare earth zones toward the west of the Bull Hill zone on which prior work has focused and on which metallurgical work is underway, and this shift points to higher heavy rare earth content without a sacrifice of grade as happens at Mountain Pass. Rare Element is conducting core drilling at East Taylor which will include a twin hole to confirm the RC hole results. The company has yet to provide us with an assay interval spreadsheet which will allow us to determine the continuity and consistency of both TREO grade and HREO proportion. As the news release is now presented it suggests a continuous zone of heavy rare earth enriched mineralization, but we need to confirm this as has been done at Quest's BZone, Commerce's Eldor and Geomega's Montviel projects where management did provide the spreadsheets. We also do not know the true width of the zone even though management says the zone is 75 metres wide. The company believes it will have assay results by the end of September. If Rare Element confirms that it has a tonnage footprint of 5-10 million tonnes running 3%-6% TREO and 10%-20% heavy rare earths, the project will become of immediate interest to Molycorp, Neo Material, and end users seeking a full spectrum supply of rare earths in a secure jurisdiction. This could throw a serious wrench into the hopes of the shorts that a washout created by volatility in general markets will provide a profitable covering window. Their efforts to cover could collide with the arrival of a new audience attracted by the possibility that Rare Element has gone from a standalone supply contender to a buyout candidate. We still need drill results to confirm this story, but Whitetail Ridge is already partly there, and both East Taylor and Carbon have the footprint to take the story the rest of the way. Does this have negative implications for lower grade projects with high heavy percentages such as Quest's Strange Lake project? I do not think it has negative implications for full spectrum projects such as Strange Lake which have large, open pittable, medium grade deposits in supportive and secure jurisdictions such as Quebec which will be of interest to end-users seeking a major long term supply solution, but it does have negative implications for low grade, small tonnage underground operations with complex mineralogy located in jurisdictions where receiving permission to conduct helicopter supported exploration generates a news release declaring that such event shaved one or more years from the development timeline. Rare Element has traded as high as $17.85 since our bottom-fish buy recommendation at $0.30-$0.49 on December 24, 2008, and initial good relative spec value buy at $2.98 on May 12, 2010. Rare earth mania has reached a stage where only a dozen or so contenders merit serious attention and Rare Element is one of them. The overall market situation is very uncertain in the wake of the debt ceiling fiasco, but the large short position on a company that has genuine fundamentals that are improving substantially will mute the downside pressure from panic selling. Spec Value Hunters should look at Rare Element as a trading opportunity between now and further confirmation that the story has shifted into a heavy rare earth gear.

(Structurally…this is a fit)
Though the cause for basic narcissism
is unknown these are some possible causes:
Some psychotherapists believe that the etiology(possible cause) of the disorder is, in Freudian terms, the result of early childhood trauma which causes fixation in early, early childhood.
or
If a child does not receive sufficient recognition for their talents during about ages 3–7 they will never mature and continue to be in the narcissistic early development stage and want constantly to be seen for their specialness.
pathologically narcissistic people are
controlling,
blaming,
self-absorbed,
intolerant of others’ views,
unaware of others' needs
and
of the effects of their behavior on others,
and
insistent that others see them
as they wish to be seen
(sounds lovely)
Although individuals with NPD
are often ambitious and capable,
the inability to tolerate setbacks,
disagreements or criticism,
along with lack of empathy,
make it difficult for such individuals to work cooperatively
(i.e. have a hard time sharing)
or attaining long-term professional achievements.
With narcissistic personality disorder, the individual's self-perceived fantastic grandiosity, often coupled with a hypo-manic mood (which i am close to) , is typically not commensurate with his or her real accomplishments.
A strange beautiful split from reality,
the truth has been undone and the
fantasy supersedes the spectacle
Psychiatrist Glen Gabbard suggested NPD could be broken down into two subtypes.
He saw the "oblivious" subtype as being
1.grandiose, arrogant, and thick-skinned
2. hypervigilant subtype as being easily hurt, oversensitive, and ashamed.
In his view, the oblivious subtype presents for admiration, envy, and appreciation a powerful, grandiose self that is the antithesis of a weak internalized self,
which hides in shame,
while the hypervigilant subtype neutralizes devaluation
by seeing others as unjust abusers.
Dr. Jeffrey Young, who coined the term "Schema Therapy", a technique originally developed by psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck (1979), also links NPD and shame.
He sees the so-called Defectiveness Schema as a core schema of NPD, along with the Emotional Deprivation and Entitlement Schemas.
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
Jungians have explored how
'the narcissistic longings of mothers (or fathers) to amass reflected glory through their children'
can result in a situation where
'in place of autonomy, the adult...would come to obey an internal source that the psychoanalyst Neville Symington calls the "discordant source"'.
Symington contrasted
'two poles: one in which I am the source of my own action, where I have a creative capacity that comes from my own source of action,
and the other in which an inner figure opposed to myself is the source of action.
He termed the twin 'sources of action the "autonomous source" and the "discordant source"', and acknowledged that 'although the formulation is different, it is along the lines of what Winnicott talks about -
the true self and the false self.

To understand the world through the ego the super ego and the id is much more imaginative than trying to find parts of the brain that are responsible for various behavior and the developing various chemicals which will counteract said experience.
That is reducing behavior to a material process.
To completely disregard the unconscious which again is quite different than magical thinking.
Are we all shaped by instinct and drive…human/family ties that bind.
Is society pathological and patriarchal?
It seems so if the environmentalists and socialists and honest reporters are to be believed…the origins of human violence…the death wish
The structure of our thinking determines the reality of how we organize ourselves economically and politically…authoritarian leaders and corporate power…when we speak of revolution the very structure that hold us together (white males) is exposed and the responses are full of anger and righteousness. We are diving into the depths of the laws that sustain us through these difficult times of being alive which have always been difficult.

This book is by a reporter who has spent the last thirty years in middle east.
The author, Robert Fisk, is inspired to his profession by a movie, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, called a “Foreign Correspondent.”
In the movie the reporter played by Joel McCrea witnesses an assignation, chases spies, wins the lady and scoops the world. Fisk first saw this movie when he was twelve.
Now he writes even the term ‘war correspondent’
“smells a bit, reeks of false romanticism; it has too much of the whiff of Victorian reporters who would view the battles from hilltops in the company of ladies, immune to suffering, only occasionally glancing towards the distant pop-pop of canon fire.”
He also writes of cringing any time some one psycho babbles about ‘trauma.’
He rightly points out, very few of the people who were actually victimized by the war will receive therapy.
How can any one “come to terms” with the depths of human depravity and the insanity of mass murder?
The idea of taking someone else's life is abhorrent and and war, is a failure, as Fisk comments, of the human spirit.
