I found the picture above on Boing Boing, and Joe, god love his pervert soul, sent me the picture below. He says, "it reminded me of an image I scooped up a few years ago. I think it's from an essay on sex killers in the mid-20th c.; about how media whipped up hysteria" and adds "Jack is a coward."


Maybe by re-visiting the Ethics of Sinistar we can accept what role this all-powerful evil could play in our lives. From The Philosophical Revelations of Sinistar:

One of the great, unrecognized, philosophical geniuses of this century or any other is a figure known by some as Sinistar. Sinistar left behind a legacy of seven phrases that encompass his minimalist philosophy. We are fortunate enough to have with us audio records of what he said, so that we may greater comprehend his intent.
Sinistar will always be an enigma, as nothing is known of his life. It seems as if he lived a life filled with motivation and direction, as if desperately yearning to accomplish all that he could, before he could be brought low by those who would destroy him. Sinistar's revelations follow, with an interpretation of their intent.
1. I am Sinistar. Here, Sinistar clearly makes two ideas known. First, that he exists; he is aware and he thinks. The second is that he has a singular identity. He is unique, and, in a sense, alone. Some have argued that this may imply a sense of self-determination, but Sinistar's perspective on the free will debate is unknown. I believe that, with what little is known about his life, Sinistar would be a determinist. People are destined to act out their lives guided by the hand of another force. The rest of us are mere automatons, carrying out algorithms.
