Hi Dave! While I am absolutely delighted that you have kept tradition by posting Edison's Frankenstein, I can't deny a powerful hankering for a Dave video. I guess my appetite will be all the more whetted when Christmas time comes around!

May I also congratulate you on your latest Tuesday column, "The Rothenberg Principle." With each passing day, it seems to me, people become more insular, self-centered, and indifferent to the effect their ego driven behavior has upon the lives of others. In fact, they seem to have little time for prioritizing anything other than their subjective notions of personal victimhood, justice, and what they call "my truth." Obviously, Rothenberg is an extreme example of the disease. Nevertheless, it does manifest, in various degrees, with a sizable portion of the population. For such people, the idea of belonging to a larger community, as a fully responsible contributing participant, is not only foreign but hateful. After all, to the narcissistic mind, everyone else is merely an extra in their play.
