The problem with "It's a Wonderful Life" just occurred to me last night. At the very end when all his friends show up with $$$ to take care of the lost $$$, aren't the authorities there to arrest him? if so, they are aware that the $$$ was given to him by his friends and is NOT the missing $$$, so he should still be arrested because the $$$ he has now is not the missing $$$. Did I explain this correctly???

I always appreciate Camus' perspective on the absurd and its relation to suicide.

You have two choices: suicide or acceptance of the absurd.

Suicide by escaping with religion
Suicide by escaping with killing yourself.
Or the acceptance of the absurd.

Anyone still listening to the show at this point is clearly on Team Micah, so the best possible outcome at this point is for Micah to pull Jim down with him and at show's end they both jump off the cliff hand in hand.

The Diary of a Country Parson by James Woodforde (1740 - 1803) is a big drinking party to Jim's point.

On LibriVox: librivox.org...

"The Revd. James Woodforde was an English clergyman, best known for his vivid account of parish life in the 18th century. His diary, edited by John Beresford, remained unpublished until the 20th century. The diary provides a wonderfully full account of the small community in which the diarist lived — of the births and deaths, comings and goings, illnesses, and annual celebrations, along with many other details of daily life.

As a churchman, Woodforde himself was conscientious by the standards of his time, charitable and pious without being sanctimonious and again typical of his day, deeply suspicious of enthusiasm.
The value of the diary to the historian lies in the wealth of primary source material it provides, while the general reader can bring from it the authentic flavor of 18th-century English country life"
