"Only through Cormac McCarthy's staggering words can you truly understand the importance of knowing the savageness that man is capable of."

I'm not sure that knowing we are capable of horror is as important as knowing we are also capable of the channelization of that superpower into something beneficial, beautiful and hopeful instead.

If humanity could attack its problems with the same savageness, it would certainly be a beneficial and beautiful thing.

Mostly, I liked the juxtaposition and the astuteness. I'm still wondering if this is also evidence that McCarthy has crossed over into a pop culture realm that exceeds most of what I know.

Huh. That actually doesn't sound fatuous or stupid.

If someone I repected for their literary insights had said it, I doubt it would be half as interesting. And here's hoping you find many new destinations in 2013!

Unconnected, but happy birthday for Sunday.

Thank you very much. I'm planning on it being a wonderful year, despite having limited say in the matter.

Thanks. I hope you and yours have an astoundingly magical 2013!
