Which Reminds Me
Yes, why all this chatter about Edgar Allen Poe, the famous poet and storyteller? We have all read his short stories in high school literature books but few know the details of his sad life, how he died very young, at the age of 40, of indeterminate cause. Something about how he was possibly demon-possessed. Why else would he obsess poetically about ravens and other various dark and dreary topics of a depressing nature. Yes, how true? Something about how this introverted writer model personality will be discontinued, weeded out of existence, because nothing is gained by reruns from 'The Dark Side.' Ok, fine. Good look trying to control a population filled with mindless chatterbox types who never stop to consider whether what they are talking about is relevant or not. They just like to hear themselves talk all the time. Needless to say.
