when you are old and wrinkly, you think you will never love again winter, it feels like the summer will never come, we'll never have flowers again having both at once? beautiful. it's not about how possible or impossible it is...

Al Dexter:As I stated, I fear it is too late to turn thigns around. The warring camps are just too entrenched. Some will probably label me a communist, but I feel the progressive steps set in motion by Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt were the best hope for the future of our people. They've all been sabotaged, and there are even calls for the repeal of Social Security. That's a totally solvent program and could be kept so, also Medicare.We need common sense to take over, but little of that has been apparent recently, and I'm not impressed with any theologian's call for a return to spirituality. I know all to well what they really mean.

I just love reading your thgtuhos. Such a beautiful expression of a wonderful event. Your path has taken you many places already in life, and you have seized on each opportunity to learn and grow, and this post is a reflection of that.

I think the title of this chapter is so inilrdcbey appropriate. It's the same thing I felt reading it (why won't people give Lyra all the information she wants right away without her having to ask ohemgee so unfair!) and at the end (whaddyah mean, not going to the North with all the men?! boo.) so, well done, Pullman. I think something that always catches me with Lord Asriel in this chapter is that for a man who seems to be simultaneously bad-ass and progressive, some of the choices we know he's made specifically with respect to his relationships with Lyra and Mrs. Coulter seem strangely out of character. Although, I kind of like strangeness, it makes him seem more human. It's also interesting to think about how Lyra reconciles her own sureness-of-self with her view of women in general. I don't know why, but I get the sense that the series is set in a time period that might be advanced technologically, but also regressed socially similar to one of those dystopian future deals. I wonder if Lyra sees herself as an exception to the rule of how women are supposed to act, or has taken a leaf out of her parents' books and just doesn't give a damn about how society thinks she's supposed to act. Either way, I like watching her go. She seems like a handful, but she's highly entertaining.
