It's wet and chilly and I haven't ventured out today. I've been reading Steven Kings new book Under the Dome. I have to say it's pretty cool. Kinda like an Apocalypse contained in a Bell Jar that the rest of the world is watching like a twisted reality show. This is one of those good vs evil where people choose how they respond to a overwhelming crisis. I used to wish that if I ever was in a catastrophic disaster that I would be kind of person who stand up for the good side. I mean, know I'd be apart of the Rebel Alliance or a much prettier Hurley type character. I like to believe that about me. "But I've never been tested. I like to think that if I was I would pass. " It makes you think though, they make the point that this kind of stuff (stuff being ugly base torrid behavior stuff against other people) only happens in the big cities. Cause I guess they believe big cities hold the market on ugly behavior. Nope in this little small town, in the world of Steven King mind you, it's underbelly is just as dark and nasty as the best of them. So what it boils down to in my way of thinking is you either are the kind of person that is obsessed with being decent and choose to abide by the natural laws that govern us, or you are always looking for the quick and easy fix, compromising yourself till there's nothing left but what in Kings fictitious world is the True Heart of Darkness.
Anyway it's a really good story and I'm glad I got for Christmas.
