Up Front: The Up-Front Guides: The…, in reply to Kracklite,
But without mythology though?
mythology can be personal or familial or tribal - it is storytelling, which, I rather think, is innate to our species...

A = without, theo = God

As an atheist, I find the very idea that I have a faith stupid & repugnant – Lilith said it first & best-

Hard News: Christchurch: Is "quite good"…, in reply to Rob Stowell,
the lack of idealism, altruism, or signs that we can and should build something of more than commercial value.
-from politicians and other so-called civic leaders: Lilith's link was well worth the reading - but disheartening.
BUT - there's all the rest of us, from our host on this site to the millions (well, there're now 4+ of us eh?) who cherish our motu, wish to nourish our best ideals,
and give much more than we take-)the Greedies will NOT win!

Hard News: Future shock for the media, in reply to Steve Barnes,
it’s just a money go round with those with their fingers firmly rammed in the pie clipping the ticket every time it passes their way…
GRRRRR!!!!
</rambling rant>
Good night and god bless.
;-)Agreed Steve...hooray for the creative & productive in whatever field that does NOT involve currency manipulation or irrational exploitation of the environment - and anything, any project that lessens human health or our home's health (and what other home do we have but Papatuanuku/Gaia?)

Speaker: The gathering of the small tribe, in reply to Lilith __,
Fine, good Lilith- but I get really pissed off with the officiousness of non-participants like Sacha-who knows a lot -but knows buggerall about the literary scene- and seems to want to suggest he knows a lot about that scene. Sacha - I've around that part of my life for OVER 50 YEARS--00-

Speaker: The gathering of the small tribe, in reply to Sacha,
I am very sure you are not involved in any livlihood way with the literary scene.
I have not made an attack, let alone a petty one - you really dont like being called out, do you Sacha?
My mana stands.
Your's - in my eyes (which also means a rather large number of other people who read whatever I write) - is, rather, diminished. -
Hard News: Christchurch: Is "quite good"…, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Their age is indicative of the big picture of abandonment down there. It’s so wrong. Fuck this Government.
YES.
A government/social set-up that puts stadiums & convention centres & cathedrals ahead of thousands of devastated households __who still dont
have good water supplies &/or working loos &/or functioning houses…which is THE priority - not the other kind city building- -
Speaker: The gathering of the small tribe, in reply to Lilith __,
I never thought you were, Lilith - but I get really pissed off with assumptions various people here make.
I take my literary stuff VERY seriously (it is - along with family, friends & fishing, literally my life.)

Speaker: The gathering of the small tribe, in reply to Sacha,
Mate - tuck yours under your arse.
I know my fields - you do not.
You obviously did not realise that are several varieties of people who have books published - and not all of them are writers.
