I’m feeling sorta gobstopped today. Outfoxed. Outplayed.

 

Like while most of us were nodding wisely about how humanity has moved beyond them now, those “Three monotheistic horsemen of perpetual bossdom and war: Christianity, Judaism and Islam,” as Grace Paley once called them, were teaming up with the internet, capitalism, and power hungry psychopaths to truly take over.

 

When all schools are religious and all courts are corrupt and all science is suspect, where will we be?

 

In a Second Dark Ages. That’s where.

 

It is never a good idea to underestimate your enemies.
