War of the World (Wha?)
There's a lot of noise in this world. Sometimes that noise forms words. Most words should be ignored, save professors who are telling you what's on the exam and Bob Dylan's new album. But its impossible to ignore everything that comes to your ears.
I ignore nothing. I am fucking crazy in that way. But let me tell you what I hear nowadays. I hear "the clash of civilizations". I hear about our struggle. I hear about our battle to preserve our way of life.
How is our way of life in danger? (BTW, the same people who want to preserve our way of life... they don't much like our way of life. They're the ones who called SpongeBob gay.) Are we about to become a part of The Caliphate? Are they going to make me wear an hajib?
I'm sorry, but I don't see our way of life in danger. What's in danger is our security... and that was always in danger. We just didn't heed any warnings. We cannot use our American ingenuity to rid ourselves of death, war and terror. I was in NY on 9-11 and on 9-12, I believe I smoked some pot, watched some Star Trek and took a long bubble bath. That's the American way. And if it wasn't in danger on 9-12, it's not now.
Stop clouding my brain with such noise, neocons!
