sermons in solitary confinement

(via time-counter on tumblr)

Phineas priests.

earth is the only planet
where people with funny hats
are put in charge of things

earth is the only planet
where "I" is not a verb

earth is the only planet
that invented virtual pets

earth is the only planet
that thinks it's the only planet

Gonna soak in the sun.

"Hitler could be defeated only by armed might: i.e., on his own terms. Whole libraries written to his detriment didn't add up to the effect of a single Russian artillery shell. This ugly fact should be kept in view when we catch ourselves nursing the comforting illusion that there is a natural order to which politics would revert if all contests of belief could be eliminated. There is such a natural order, but it is not benevolent." --Cultural Amnesia
