[Pamela Jo]

I found this article very interesting. I didnt know people cried at the ending of Marvel movies. Then I remembered the only time my non movie going mother watched Star Wars on VCR with me. She cried and said, "I didn't know they still made movies like that." This cookie may be the ultimate lembas cookie. Now how do you make one.

What a fascinating article! I am very familiar with this emotion (although not a superhero movie fan!) but did not know there was a name for it.
Let's hope politicians don't figure out a way to harness kama muta anytime soon. Remember the ending of 1984 where Winston feels love for Big Brother?

Oh My I do. I think I was about 12 when I first read it. When I finished I dramatically dropped the book in front of my mother and said "THAT is why I read." 1984 seemed so impossibly in the future. It's a good Q. What do you fear enough to make you betray everything you used to value? This election will answer that Q in the US.
