Congratulations, Judith Timson, you have created three beautiful worlds. Fuck you, George Bush, for introducing evil into them all. Or, well, no, Saddam takes credit too. Why do I find that so artificial in this story, when it's an undeniable fact in real life? I guess because a story shouldn't strive for considered balance; It should just strive to say something real, not say it all. Also, Sorry, Judith Timson, but you should have gotten your friend from Esquimalt to write the Lynndie show more England monologue. It rings false at important moments. show less
