Sometimes things hit hard

[serpentrose]

and they're not always what you expect to hit hard either. I freely admit that I avoid watching the news because it tends to feed my depression. Since my depression has at times been bad enough to get me contemplating suicide my desire to avoid feeding it is understandable

Hey, if you're going to be hit hard, you could choose a worse graphic novel. I think that there are moments of brightness in Watchmen, burried in all the dark. Remember that it's an allegory, an interpretation of the real world. I don't think our world is as dark as that one, and I think that even if free will is an illusion, it is a stubbornly persistent one, and a useful one. And, frankly, physicists haven't quite figured out all the quirks of the quarks (hee.), so there's still room in our understanding of universe for randomness and free will.
