The root of my given name is the same as Jacob. It means to usurp, take over, per many sources. The more I look at history, even warped as it is written, the more usurptions you find. I suppose it is the way of humanity, but I do wonder about why I was given this name, besides that it was a family name, was it some sort of fate, or directive, that I would have to in some sense 'take power', if only as a reply to the abuse of power by others. Re your work, I commend you for the patience to listen so deeply, few do.

I associate the name Jacob with the terrifying and diabolically plotted movie "Jacob's Ladder"
