Re: [DL] A Clockwork Orange

Check the movie out after you are done with the book.  It is just as strong 
of an impact - Stanley Kubrick near his best.  At the very least you'll 
understand what some of us old time delinquents mean when we talk about 
"pulling a clockwork orange" on someone.

I wouldn't make Alex and his droogs abominations right away - use them to 
demonstrate the path to darkness.  As time goes on some of them end up 
coming to the attention of the Reckoners.  Start them off with the whole 
crew tangling with the posse.
Think of the story when a few months later one of 'em - Alex lets say - 
comes running to the posse because his ole' droogs has turned on 'em.

Oh - and could you turn off HTML formatting?
