The blog's three years old today. Happy Birthday Blog ! I guess that means I should add a 02003 bio page.

Seeing we're at war, why not plant a Victory Garden this year ?
Or if you're more of a hawk, perhaps you'ld enjoy a War Garden.
(This post would not be complete without a flag waving pumpkin.)

Then what is the answer?- Not to be deluded by dreams.
To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence,
and their tyrants come, many times before.
When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose
the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.
To keep one's own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted
and not wish for evil; and not be duped
By dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will
not be fulfilled.
To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear
the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand
Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars
and his history... for contemplation or in fact...
Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,
the greatest beauty is
Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man's pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.

The Hybrid Thannk You Card project is now listed on Rtmark. They changed my suggested intro blurb to say "in addition to ticketing" instead of "instead of ticketing", but I don't mind that much: The project page makes it clear enough I don't think ticketing is productive.
