The Row Boat"Had we but world enough, and time..." * The Only Thing We Have to Fear4/20/2005 00:54:36I just found the paragraphs below buried on my computer, about a year old. Certainly it has been said. But I love the absurdity pointed out: I don't believe that at any time previous to the past several years, a sovereign nation has declared war on a human emotion. It seems all the time we find new and interesting ways to irradiate what shreds of organic humanity we might have left, not yet cradling a personal computer or an AK-47. War, psychically, is to cease wondering if the other side might have a point. We thus become prepared to die before surrender, and to kill before simply not killing. Terror is a sensation that America has deemed it can live without. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
