[IN THE DOME HOME continued EDIE speaking]

	Hey, did you hear, Pam's pioneer work in teaching men
	to cry at her sensitivity seminars earned
	her a paragraph in Psychology Today?  I brought y'all a copy.
	Bob, does that tank still leak, 'cause listen, now
	it squeaks, too.
	Lyn, you know, you should sign up Bob for Pam's next seminar,
	"Anima, Animus, Animosity."
	I got to commend you Bob:  Your solar thing you're into is
	admirable, but this catalogue here, "Karma-Krafts."
	Some of this stuff you're selling is New Age
	chotchkes.  I mean, there's some worthwhile stuff
	here.  These Bio-Bottom diapers-that sounds
	okay.  But most of this stuff is just New Age kitsch,
	now admit it.
	Look at this-aura goggles.
	Here's some pyramid salt and pepper shakers.
	"Key to the Universe" key chains.  Oh, and these patchouli-
	scented candles-guess that covers Indian philosophy.

	Bumper stickers:
	"It you think you are on the path, you are lost;
	this is the Holywood Freeway."  Here's another one I think I'll order:
	"Honk! Honk! Honk! is not a mantra."

	Bob, what yellow brick path are you on? Trying to mix
	consumerism with higher conciousness,
	you're liable to have a big karmic debt to pay.  Hell, Bob, I recall
	how you used to say
	how we all had to look at success in a new way
	or we'd never be truly successful.  I used to dig you talkin' like
	that 'cause it felt like you meant it.
	I thought you were one of the handful of people left who cared
	about not selling out.  Remember all that shit about
	"only wanting to do well if you could do good"?
