Tolkien. Tolkien, whose Middle-earth was free of the legends and religions of our world, objected to Narnia&#8217;s hodgepodge of motifs: the fauns and dryads lifted from classic mythology, the Germanic dwarfs and contemporary schoolboy slang lumped in with the obvious Christian symbolism.&quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/SF\">SF<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/books\">books<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/history\">history<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/id\/2207076\/?from=rss\">What WWE champion Mick Foley thought of The Wrestler. &#8211; By Mick Foley &#8211; Slate Magazine<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;The wrestling business has been the source of more than one critically acclaimed documentary&#8211;I was one of the subjects of Barry Blaustein&#8217;s Beyond the Mat&#8211;but I worried that my vocation was not respected enough to merit a thoughtful fictional screen representation.

Much of what lies behind our current economic train-wreck stems from short-sightedness &#8212; focus on short-term goals and gains &#8212; and near-sightedness &#8212; seeking to maximize one vector without regard for context in which that vector has value to begin with.
