The Gist of a Spoiler: How to begin, and how it should end.

(The Hawk! @ 12 – promoted by buhdydharma )

I just wrote a piece for ePluribus Media that I think you’d like to check out. It has embedded video, multiple links in “Wikipedia” style, a few footnotes and a couple great images.

It was a lot of work.

I’m not going to repost the whole thing, but I am going to provide the punch-line — the spoilers, the ending — but it won’t ruin anything for you.

Trust me on this: you won’t mind reading the full piece over there, ‘cuz you’ll still be cheering the spoilers from over here.

Here’s the tail end, in blockquotes:

It’s fitting, in this age of rising gas prices, oil wars, energy behemoths, auto giants, global climate crises and illegal warfare to end with this rather interesting quote³ from the father of the modern automobile:

Don’t find fault.  Find a remedy.  ~Henry Ford

Indeed.  In fact, I have a suggestion or four…:

 

Actually, I guess that’s five, and that’s just what I’d call “a good start.”  Here’s where it should end:

^4. Courtesy of The Dood Abides – The Last Round-up (a.k.a. The Bush Administration Frogwalk).

Ideally, you’ll forgive my lack of a full crosspost, and you’ll go check out the full piece on ePluribus Media. You might also like this one, too.

I do have some Docudharma stuff coming soon, as well. I’m hoping to build up a repertoire of different content at different sites instead of crossposting the same piece all over creation.

Let me know in comments what you think, and if you approve.
