V and Justice
V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.
Justice: Good evening, V.
V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...
Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.
V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."
V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.
Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!
V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!
V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.
Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...
V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!
V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.
V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.
Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?
V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.
*KABOOM!*

Date: 2008-07-18 06:11 am (UTC)My eyes are open, thanks, that's how I can the inherent racism in your words. Especially the way you equate all the "Arab" leaders (and left out General Gedaffi, because we're not in direct conflict with him, I assume, though he's just as "popular" and in your words "barbaric") as pretty much the same - despite the fact that Ahmadinejad isn't Arab, but Persian, that Assad is considered pretty week in many circles and Nasrallah is also considered a thug in many circles.
Look, it's obvious we're going to disagree and not convince each other in our view of the worlds. This is not a clash of civilizations, or cultural difference - I was mainly talking about the arbitrary line you drew between "Us" and "Them" as Humans and Barbarians, which as I've said, doesn't fly.
I think their value systems suck. Touting a baby killer as a hero is a shame on them... but you know what; shame on us for agreeing to release him. We lost a bit of honour there as well.
