Hi Ellen,

Have you any scripts you have written that I may read. Now that I am
retired and have some time on my hand
I wouldn't mind reading them.

Cheers Bruno

I'm immensely entertained by the idea of Landies speaking Landmarkese
to each other and have written out several imaginary comedic
~conversations~ -- for about fifteen minutes. Then the boredom sets
in. So I never get farther than a few paragraphs. The author of the
play to which Caligari referred alludes to the headache of sorting out
what they say from what they mean to say, both of which are
monstrously and mind-numbingly stupid. Really! Why would I care or
want to be involved in your ~conversations for possibility.~ Even if
there were something vaguely interesting, its' being couched in
Landmark-speak would drive it into the ground, for me. "A world that
works for everyone???" When is that likely to happen in some
Wernerized utopia...I can't think of anything more grim.

Now ElRon and his adventures -- that's a bone with some meat on it.
Ive got one in the works that'll top "The Master," for sheer, outright
irony.

(Perhaps you remember my "LandieLove" entries.)

I would have thought that would be a most noble aim since its the
back bone of most religious and philosophical thought of the ages.

Look forward to it .

I'm sure it will be passionate and full of drama and clear and
understandable
in the position you hold.
Comedy would be a wonderful way of persuading people to see your
point of view.

De Bono claims that comedy is more persuasive than just using logical
argument
a la Ms. Nordsrop mode of delivery.

Any how good luck


cheers Bruno

Really? You have representative examples?
