...Fundamentalist Christians always quote Jesus in the Gospel of John saying "I am the way. I am the life. Nobody comes into the kingdom of heaven except through me." But what does Jesus mean by "I"?" In his language, Aramaic, the word is translated as "the I within the I." So he may be speaking about himself as a universal spirit.

Shield fans have long debated what kind of end Mackey deserves. I won't characterize the finale, except to say it proves Mackey is not so different from the people he disparages to the drug boss. Yes, he lives on the edge and embraces it. But for him, self-deception is not just an exercise; it's an Olympic sport. Fittingly and terribly, The Shield carries him across the finish line...
