hey, don't call my idealism evil. "Idealist" may be a label, but it
only defines a part of who I am.

It's not that I condone facism....or any "ism" for that matter.
"Isms" in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an "ism",
they should believe in themself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in
Beatles...I just believe in me." A good point there. After all, he was the
walrus.

"The walrus was Paul." -- John Lennon. But maybe he was just saying
that to be nice, as National Lampoon once suggested.

expanding on #16...
"What's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who
gives a crap that they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, still
wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car... It's not that I condone
fascism, or any ism's for that matter. Ism's in my opinion are not good. A
person should not believe in an ism. He should believe in himself. I quote
John Lennon, 'I don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me.' A good point
there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have
to bum rides off of people... I ask for a car. I get a computer. How's that
for being born under a bad sign?" - Matthew Broderick, Ferris Bueller's Day
Off.

#17> Lennon/McCartney wrote, "I am the Eggman, I am the Walrus." Now, it's
been suggested that the reference is to the Carroll poem, "The Walrus and the
Carpenter," since the Carpenter in the pictures has an odd-shaped head. If
the Walrus is Paul, then the Eggman, i.e., the Carpenter is John. But, as
Kevin Smith points out through Loki in the movie Dogma, "The Walrus and the
Carpenter" is a fairly thin metaphor for Eastern and Western mysticism, with
the Walrus representing Lord Ganesh or the Buddha, and the Carpenter
representing Jesus Christ (who was raised to be a carpenter).
So "I am the Walrus" is Lennon's confession that his faux pas about the
Beatles being more popular than Jesus was only slightly off his true opinion:
He *is* Jesus.

Kevin Smith is a useless meatwhistle. You should kill yourself for referencing
him as an authority on anything other than trite movies.

People might want to look at http://vm.uconn.edu/~rpp98001/AH1.html to
reach their own conclusions. I don't believe Carroll had any such
intent, explicitly or implicitly.

*shrug* true, I've seen people made some odd connections of their own
in other examples. The bit about the organized religion thing in the
Dogma script especially sounded humorous being attributed to Carroll
(Dodgson), since I doubt he had that intent either. Just a Kevin
Smith witticism.

resp:20 A useless meatwhistle? Hardly! He's not exactly an
intellectual or even a noteworthy modern humorist, but he is a pretty
good comic book writer. He renewed interest in Marvel's Daredevil,
and now is generating a little interest in writing for DC's Green
Arrow.

A good comic book writer? Maybe.
He's a piss poor excuse for a director, or filmwriter, though.
