Freedom, part three

We are getting to the end of the book (at least some of us! ;-) and each page turned seems to bring more unhappiness, more conflict. No character is good or bad, but they all bring their problems with them, their fears, their frustrations, and that is something I really like about the book: characters, though extreme, feel so human.
But however, I want to bring the discussion to the politicals that the narration tells us. What do you think of the way the Cerulean Wabbler Park assures its existance? Does the end, keeping nature only for nature, justify the means (the implications with the mean corporations)?
And second, what do you think of the phrase "Kenny Bartles was clearly one of those daredevil clowns, a bush-league sociopath who would end up in jail or in Congress soon enough"? Isn't it just too real?

  1. It is taking me time, but I am getting there :-)

    I do not think "the end justifies the means", so I cannot agree with how Walter is managing the issue of the Cerulean Wabbler Park. Particularly, I do not like the relationship with the big boss.

    Kenny Bartles and his businesses, terrifying. That is what war is all about for the people who "control" wars. I was happy to see that Joey opened his eyes and started behaving more like a good person (and less like an idiot).
