I haven't read later Moorcock, so in my head Oswald Bastable is still digging for treasure.
Moorcock always said he named Bastable after the character from the treasure hunters, but he was not supposed to be what the character turned into. The name was a link to a sort of liberal imperialism, the sort that claims to support invasions for the good of the nation being invaded. Of course this is way after the fact analysis. It is possible that the name was picked on a "wouldn't it be cool" basis, and the justification thought of long after.

Have any laistas gone to see the shuttle? [link] The photos are AWESOME.
Katie and I are going to the Science Center on November 1 for an educator thing when they open the pavilion. I am unaccountably excited.
People who think free speech is synonymous with freedom from consequence make me tired.

This. THIS! Sure, say whatever you want, just be prepared to deal with what happens after, including being publicly outed and shamed if you're a creepy troll who posts upskirt photos of minors.
