The more this world gets scarier and frightening, the more also beauty and love grows in opposition. This is the nature of our very polarized era. This is why I throw up my hands and say, "Great! Fine! I couldn't be happier!" when I hear that Homeland Security (the musical chairs style shuffling of existing bureaucracies, and union-buster) is going to be passed shortly and that we should sacrifice our consitutional rights for "security."

I stopped worrying and have learned to love the bomb.
