Quote:I think (or at least hope) that Doug wouldn't like the Authority much.
Yow.
Basically, after a series of really bad thingshappen, they've decided that they can only handle their job by becoming the biggest, meanest badasses around. The rest of the world, naturally, responded by becoming even more mean and vulgar than it was before, which required the Authority to get meaner to keep up, etc. This is especially bad as one of the Authority's members has a direct connection to Earth's "soul", as it were, and thus affects the nature of reality both overtly and subconsciously.
