ReRavel:
So Crow, now honestly look at the semi-useless rot of a human you have become. It's all the computer's fault. Blame it all on the friggin computer!
Crow:
I said I'd been unhappy to see the members of my family investing so much of their energy into playing video games or watching television. I truly felt these things undermining our intimate social organism of 'family', and was making us all into passive consumers. I guess because I myself grew up without a television I was very conscious about its effects on people. I didn't feel it was a good thing, yes, I did 'blame' these things for the deterioration and dissolution of our family structure. And of course that was not really appropriate, and my attitude of condemnation didn't 'help' but to intensify the alienation my family members experienced. And the more I rebelled and reacted with hostility towards these things, the more alienated we all became.
By the time I began posting over the Internet myself, I'd become enraged and hostile, although all of that was perhaps tempered by the ironic humor of it all, which surely hadn't completely escaped me.
ReRavel:
And you would presume to lead me to freedom? Nagual my ass!
Crow:
You mean to tell me you've not yet discovered freedom for yourself?
ReRavel:
Crow:
Why choke? I'd air those feelings, if I were you.
