Uncompromising

So tonight I am reading about propositional logic, which appears to be self evident hogwash restated in college idiom much like the system of pronunciation used by Wikipedia, a simple phonetic spelling would be far too mundane and not exclusive enough for those who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to set themselves apart from the penny stinkards who actually make society work.

Er,...I may be off track here some.

Mr. A was created by Steve Ditko and the first issue ran in Wally Wood's Witzend. He is an Objectionist vigilante crusader in a mask and fedora who is a follower of Ayn Rand's philosophy, in that it is wrong to grant mercy to a bad person. The name is from Aristotle's law of A=A, or that the thing is identical to itself and nothing else. Needless to say, this didn't catch on so Steve then created The Question, a masked vigilante reporter who wore a fedora and a trench coat.

The Question by Denys Cowan. He has been beaten to a pulp at least once. When Alan Moore was writing Watchmen he used The Question and Mr. A as the model for Rorschach, the wrapped far too tight private superhero who refuses to give up his mask after the 1977 Keene act forbade costumed vigilantes to operate anymore.

This is the body of Harvey Charles Furniss, a serial rapist, left outside a New York police station with the word 'Never'! attached to it. Rorschach does not play well with others.

Artwork by Lee Bermejo. Rorschach is not psychotic but driven by the need to exact justice from the dregs of society. He's also 5' 6" tall and works in a laundry during the day.

That's all I have tonight, just a little something about hat and trenchcoat wearing vigilantes doing their thing.

Bill Joyce. All this proves that I can post on something other than talking rabbits, he said under his breath while darting his eyes around the dark, smoky room redolent with the aging remains of cheap take out against a soupçon of unwashed socks and stained, greasy bedclothes.

 

Stay vigilant.
