Thanks for your analysis of Passion Play! It was very helpful. One thing I really like is Joni's rhetorical question, "Who are you going to get to do the dirty work, when all the slaves are free?" I think it is a very good question she asks. If everyone were liberated and treated as worthy human beings, who would do the dirty work? I free-associate that question with "enter the multitudes, in Exxon Blue and Radiation Rose." If all the slaves were free, who would want to work on the oil rigs and in the nuclear plants? Enter the robots, I guess.
Thanks again, Ruth in Richmond
