In the words of Charles Dickens: "It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." My brother Tom and I took our first bicycle ride along the New Hampshire coast. It was a needed break from all the news flashes with the Washington polls "Sounding their barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world".
At one time, in our not so distant past these words may have been true: "Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon." -
-- Winston Churchill
The wagon is broken down, rotted from the inside out. Few would disagree with Lenin's view of Capitalists (substitute AIG). Hopefully, the working man, with a little help, will recover. "Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps." - -- Vladimir Lenin
Walt Whitman wrote in his preface to “Leaves of Grass” (1855): “This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.”
Dismiss whatever insults your soul, especially those in Washington "Sounding their barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world".

The Swamp Thing was a creature originally conceived as Alec Holland mutating into a vegetable-like creature, a "muck-encrusted mockery of a man". However, under writer Alan Moore, Swamp Thing was reinvented as an elemental entity created upon the death of Alec Holland, with Holland's memory and personality intact. He is described as "a plant that thought it was Alec Holland, a plant that was trying its level best to be Alec Holland."
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing had a profound effect on mainstream comic books, being the first horror comic to approach the genre from a literary point of view since the EC horror comics horror comics of the 1950's, and broadened the scope of the series to include ecological and spiritual concerns while retaining its horror-fantasy roots.
