anyway, pookie, campbell is best in the bill moyers videos which should be available in the yookay. his serious writing is a bit dated, as he was an old school jungian and his students @ sarah lawrence called him an old fascist. but he's highly entertaining and interesting on teevee.
anyway, speaking of jungian notions, don't discount fairy tales as lesser than religious myths-- they are often interchangeable and even more useful, psychologically speaking.
i find the greek fairytales far more entertaining than the myth if the crucified jewish wonderboy (who is really pagan in origin). the greeks had healthier minds, i think, than the 2000 years of christianity that followed.

None of the above, but I've given up on this point with you. You've made your situation quite clear, I disagree with it, and that's all good in the hood with me. I'm not saying this to be a cunt (for this one time only), I just really think yours and my understanding of the world is incommensurable on this matter.
