Re: The family in the cellar

Well, I've been following it.  Kind of hard not to,
in fact.  I think nobody is going to write a fantasy
based upon *that* story.

Think about the hippies of the 70's.  Drugs aren't a great
idea nor did lots of people into drugs go good places with
that.  But from the hippies we have, 'The President's
Analyst,' 'Hair,' 'Jesus Christ Superstar.'  I have one of
my favorite sayings, "I know you believe you understood
what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize, what
you heard was not what I meant."  So there are some good
outcomes from some divergent people, and by the way, the
folks in Wa****ngton offered remarkably good stuff to
diverge from.

(*Why* is this not happening today?  ??)

But this story, that's something else.  And as more news
trickles out about it, it looks worse.  About all it
*could* bring out of some fantasy writer, in my view, is
some sort of a horror work that by its nature, could not
have a large audience over long time.

I too think this going on for *24* years is very, very
strange.  My guess is, someone *must have* noticed; but
then what did they do?  ??
