The third storm
is hitting us in the Northeast. They say
that it is the third storm, but it feels like it has been snowing since
Thanksgiving - or maybe even Labor Day.
I go outside, and I am hit with subzero temperatures and snow deeper
than my boots. But that is how it goes
here in the Finger Lakes. We knew what
we signed up for when we moved here. But
I could use some help going about my daily business.
Perhaps one of
the complaints about the Prequel Trilogy is that it makes Anakin, and therefore
Darth Vader, a sympathetic victim and not the galaxy's most evil villain. On this blog, you will not hear any PT
trashing, so that is not where I am going here.
I will posit in these first few postings that we see the fall of someone
to the uttermost depths of despair, hatred, self loathing and narcissism. Darth Vader becomes the one who needs to be
saved not only from his oppressor, but from himself. In Part I we will deal with the former
proposition.
