But there's a whole nother blog post in there (a book, really) about trying to get things right, about guilt and blame, about fail and win, about the unfashionability of morals and the mess we've replaced them with, which I'm probably never going to have the time or energy to write.

I would be interested in reading it, if you ever do get the time.

I watched some adverts a coulple of weekends, after a long period of not watching adverts (visiting parents) and I was struck by how much the language of advertising is about being naughty, and giving in to temptation, and the whole general you deserve to be selfish idea. On and on and on. Of course you can then absolve your sins with some cleansing yoghurt.
