Pen Elayne evokes a classic David Bowie call to arms.
Elayne Riggs says that as expected, I have a messiah complex (scroll down), and sums up Messiah Complexity with an association to the reverence of David Bowie's We can Be Heroes.
Without attempting to qualify if Elayne meant that a messiah complex means a serious pursuit of a role-playing syndrome, or perhaps the quality of operating from a logistics complex for executing the duty of a messiah, such as, for example, the Batcave could be viewed as being a Batman complex, her statement will certainly not be disputed here, within our humble abode.
Elayne herself, however, is no stranger to heroism. She has valiantly and effectively staked a formidable presence for herself and her opinions on the web, loved by a wide spectrum of comics and socio-political bloggers, because she knows what it means to take one's destiny in their hands and use the tools available to heroically state her concern for the plight of our world and the truth as she sees it.
In addition to her extra-curricular and well read column at ComicMix, Elayne is not a girl to pass up some fun with silly sites, such as The Warholizer.
Not a bad start at all, Ms Riggs. We will certainly maintain the stride and attempt to chart a course, in upcoming posts, for what it takes to transform Bowie's sentiment into an operative reality. Suffice it to say that declarations alone, lacking an action taken to help realize them, are not of themselves a tool for substantial change. Hang tight, coming soon.
