All of us are comfortable with rebellion.  We identify with Maud'dib.
/* ---------- */

Right--we *do* identify with Paul Muad'Dib Atreides. BUT we (or at least
I) don't identify with Leto II. (Well, maybe some people do--I would tend
to think that they would be of the sort that thinks they are Napoleon, or
maybe God.) Did anyone really think that Leto II couldn't pull off the
Golden Path? Did anyone care (for precisely that reason)?

				 Tabr Standard Time?"
				"I don't care! I just want to know what bloody
				 time it is, right now!!!"
				"--Four-fifteen!" (That Bene Gesserit witch!
				 She used the Voice on me!)
