Please provide a link to the image I'm calling Angels of the Light. The night my grandmother passed away I saw 10,000 Angels singing in the Aurora Borealis and I've painted what I saw. I would very much like to find out who created this image.

Wonderful dear Cynthia and the way you tie the repented mind of Darwin to Rupert and the results of

his theory in the mind of Wells and Thomas Huxley that maybe were psychopaths or sociopaths and

sick minds, it all bring to my mind the case of Leopold and Loeb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_and_Loeb, The excellent book of Meyer Levin gives us a great resumé of what this trial had in all USA newspapers had in those days and for those who love black

and white films https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsion_(1959_film), by the way reading the Wikipedia I saw that it was the inspiration for The Rope.

Thanking you again for your extraordinary work, may you and your husband have a fruitful new year

from Spain.

Wells reminds me of Paul Krugman. Asked who his intellectual hero was, Krugman answered that it was Harry Seldon, the galactic planner of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series.

These are puerile power fantasies that adults ought to be ashamed of, instead of flaunting their immaturity.

Beautiful, Cynthia. It’s wonderful to hear your essays read aloud in YOUR voice. Thank you. I sent the link to my husband so he can take a listen while he works (his job is such that he can do this for short bouts during the day).

The 'people of the abyss'... <cringe> The sopping arrogance of these cannibals is too much to bear.
