My man in Istanbul writes about Ben Affleck’s Boston Irish bankrobber flick:I watched "The Town." I liked it. A deep, self-destructive voice in me said I wanted to be there, in Boston. I probably wouldn’t amount to much of anything, not even something like those characters, but heck, who gives a ****. I like the Irish. Maybe they're … Turks of the North, I don’t know.So they're "dysfunctional," eh? Good, I like dysfunctional. I grew up in it, it’s my home. The melancholy, the absence of a ridiculous perkiness and an annoying smirk on the face, the quiet fortitude of stoicism … all of them are good. **** optimism.
"Life is innocent and just" said Nietzsche — to invert the ridiculous, phony pessimism of Liberalism which can’t get over thinking that "life is unfair" and that the bloody Gov'ment should do something about it … as if It ever could.
Pain is an extreme form of sensitivity. And Fear — the anticipation of Pain — is Nature’s way of whispering in your ear "Look out, buddy; I’m here. I’m not to be disrespected. Ever." Merry Christmas!
