A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...

This looks a lot like suffering.
All those buildings look phallic. Is it because men designed them and love their macho penises or is it because women designed them and crave macho penises? Perhaps it's a little bit of both. I want James Earl Jones to read my posts out loud, reverently.

For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close… I wish you could have lived to see it.But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."
