He does. I stopped visiting the site a couple of years ago, and I think
I'm going to be spending a fair bit of computer time making up for it this
week (and maybe into next week, who knows?). (I think the last one I read
before now was the "Fathers and Bisons" one.)

I highly recommend the Phantom Menace rant. I just lost it (to the point
of my mom coming in to ask what was so funny) on, "But wherever they go,
and whatever may or may not happen to them on the way, in that enchanted
place at the top of the forest, a little boy and his Ewok will always be
playing."
There's also a good bit somewhat earlier that touches on a point of DB's
rants on the subject. "Do we really believe that Anger and Aggression are
necessarily and at all times Bad Things; or that impatience and
restlessness can potentially turn you into satan incarnate?"
Oh, and besides the rants, I also recommend "Once Upon a Time" which is a
card game he helped design, and which is a lot of fun.
