Remember
in Moby Dick when the Great White Whale
was
peacefully grazing on krill and plankton? No, of
course
you don’t. Melville never mentioned it, but one
could
easily assumed that Moby, as with most whales,
spent
a good deal of his time feeding. Luring Ahab into yet
another
confrontation was only part of the story. Anyway,
the
vengeful ending for the captain of the Pequad was
not
pretty, at least if you consider Ishmael’s personal
accounting
of the incident as factual. Face it, you couldn’t
care
less about what your neighbor had for breakfast,
lunch
or dinner, But as far as you’re concerned, a good
reckoning
may be called for when he plays his music too
loud
late at night. You strap on your wooden leg, grab the
harpoon
sitting in the corner, and hobble unevenly toward
the
front door…
