Allow me to correct a few errors in what I said, hmm?

First, a sage (one who holds wisdom) would never declare himself one knowing that he he still has much to learn.

Second, by mystery what I meant is "unknown qualities" that are the result of information withheld not putting up an over-exaggeration that are the result of smoke and mirrors and the waving of hands. It's like comparing Gandalf, secretive (not all-revealing) but powerful and wise, with the Wizard of Oz, putting on a show but not having any true power or wisdom.

Finally, I meant to point out that I wish I had truly understood, not just known of, the things that I have been saying on here lately. Most of these things I have come to understand by not truly accepting the advice of others and learning the hard way.

I've got to find V's three minute monologue that largely consisted of words beginning with "v." Quite impressive writing that was.

I really need to get to that fan fiction, so I can be properly impressed with all of your creativity.

I didn't see V for Vendetta. Not sure if I want to or not.

It's justly rated R, and (on the surface) seems to paint Christians in a negative light. Ironically, there are some good moral messages once you get past that. It's also a very well made movie.

I don't know that I could recommend it to a lot of the folks on here because of its moral shortfalls in good conscience.

Usually. Sometimes I just get depressed at the extent of human stupidity.
