This post is fantastic. Great work, Les. I look forward to reading more from you! (I also look forward to rewatching "Thelma and Louise" for the thousandth time with a more critical eye.)

In reply to Les Edgerton. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain that, Les. Yes, it totally makes sense now. And your explanation of control is what I believe too. It's a human condition, regardless of socioeconomonic status I think. That incident or series of incidents that took control away from someone so they spend their days trying to get it back in whatever way they can. Some become criminals. Some become Oprah. Thanks so much, Les, for this article, for linking to your brilliant interview, and taking the time to so thoroughly answer my questions. I've bookmarked both of these so they're handy for rereading. :)

I read HOOKED years ago, so I'm really happy to see a post here at WITS from Les. And my goodness, hands down one of the best posts I've read -- possibly because it's exactly what I needed as I revise. Thank you SO MUCH for this.
