Rave Against the Dying of the Light

There is a smart man who writes for the SFGate paper named Mark Morford who said it better than I could.

So, I propose we celebrate. We are still alive, we are still whole and we have more reasons than ever to exist and fight. There is a saying that is brought to mind. The true measure of a man is taken not at rest or leisure, but under pressure when no one is looking and the specter of fear and defeat loom triumphant. I'm not sure who said it first but I paraphrased it, so its mine now. I plan to protest this neo-con path of our country in the best way I can think of. Unabashed pleasure and mind-wrenching happiness. I'm going to be a Happy Powerful Pervert who is surrounded by friends and family and who is not oppressed or silenced. I used to think that the phrase about "Fiddling while Rome burned..." was about degeneracy and insanity. But I think there is more, it is an act of protest, of life while destruction consumes all our dreams. The strength of the conservative/evangelical christian/haliburton/neo-con/republican machine is fear and they wield the Sword of Impotency with a skill honed by Rove and forged by McCarthy. I shall charge into battle gladly astride my Pony-girl wielding my double-ended dildo of Truth, spreading Lust and good amounts of Lube where ever I go. My resounding battle cry will be heard from sea to shining sea..."I'm cuming, I'm Cuming, Beat me, Spank me, Tie me up and Do me like I've never been done before!!!" And our army will swell and engorge in a great thunderous orgy of happiness and joy spilling its seed of tolerance and its juices of life across the land. And we will triumph, one shining Joygasm at a time.
