What's great about 'Game of Thrones' is they change the perspective, the POV, all the time.

I get a lot of e-mail messages from people who say thanks for giving them a place to vent, an outlet to say what they can't say in real life with friends and work colleagues - things that they know are wrong, but they still want to say. Is it right? No, of course not. People say some disgusting, vile things.

Intensity in Ethics

 What we say -- and I include the most austerely mechanistic among us, which is probably me -- what we say is, "Vile monster, prison is too good for you."

 and way less dramatic than vile gouts of hatred towards who you are. For me, self-hatred was about not believing things that were objectively true.
