@ipbalkenende Contrariwise ... it takes a healthy human to disguise such things (e.g. homosexual themes in children stories, or suppression of feelings themes, glorification of destructive authority etc) and courage to show it. Think Wilhelm Reich vs Sigmund Freud. Of course some ppl will always complain, and want to have the disguise back ... as shown by Alice Miller ...

These are are so wonderful. I just hope Klaus K. doesn't rise from the dead and shoot someone over this.

My father used to read this to me and my 3 older brothers all the time when we were little. I hated it. I always just thought they burned MaryAnn to death :L

The ka mate haka: a primal, violent cry of conquest. Perhaps the conquest of man over nature? Just as the white man has taken a once proud dance for his rugby games, so does he pervert and deform the land with his machines.

@RyanIverson What does klein zwiebel mean?
The 'joke' is a lighthearted children's story is turned into heavy depressing poetry by Werner Herzog. An underlying theme may be an intellectual's inability to refrain from over-analyzing simple things and finding depressing themes. A demonstration that ignorance is bliss.

Oh really? Really? This is not really Werner Herzog? Man, I'm glad there are people around to tell me things like this.
