This
week's answer:
Writing
Outside the Box
John, that's a good question.
I assume you're referring to the WGA strike (and that
you really don't want to "go down
their." If you do, my question would be,
"go down their what?" You could
definitely go down there (wherever
"there" may happen to be) and picket.
I'm sure the guild members walking in front of a studio
would gladly welcome you and appreciate your
support. But I'm not sure your thinking has to be
of the "either/or" variety, thereby thinking
from a duality point of view (as the duality
philosophers would most definitely point out.
Twice.)
Instead, I'd urge you to think
outside the box. I never did know exactly what box
that those who want to think outside of it really
is. (That last sentence is an "out of the
box" kind of one.) And who wants to
think in a box, anyway? What a place to think
in? I'd be so claustrophobic in the box that I
probably wouldn't do any thinking
whatsoever.
What I mean is, why couldn't you
move from duality to unity? (I hear Unity is much
nicer than Duality, and has less crime and better
schools.) How about going down "there"
and picketing AND keep writing? You could strap
your laptop on the back of the picketer in front of you
(I'm sure he or she won't mind) and, while you carry a
sign with one hand and type with the other (just don't
IM anybody or they'll think you're
"cybering.")
Hey, if you have Wi-Fi, you could
even go on the Internet and find a news site that is
covering the strike where you are and showing the other
picketers and you as you picket and... look at the news
site on your laptop showing you looking at the news
site.
How's that for thinking outside the
box?
