"I’m going to write a pro-monarchy story. If the Rolling
Stones can do 'Sympathy for the Devil,' surely I can find some redeeming things about
a king. You all are against everything. You quote Winston Churchill saying
democracy is the worst except for all the others and pretend he didn’t think it
was a vital tool in bettering the world. I’ll be radical. The thing I’ll be
against is you, and in doing so I’ll be for everything else. I’ll support the
Catholic Church, try to understand the Bush Administration, and when I’m done
I’m going to eat a big amoral steak. I’m not going to call 9/11 conspiracy
theorists and Global Warming skeptics 'idiots' just so I can comfortably disregard them. I’m going to
talk to them. How can you enjoy Hannibal Lecter and then argue against
the merits of the Dalai Llama? That is what you seem to like in your
make-believe – intellectual murderers, morally vapid assholes packing heat and
drugs. You’re so disingenuous that you need fictional bad people to cheer while
you slander the real inaccurately. I see this stand is hypocritical, to admit
nothing good in you when scouring for the good in everyone else. When I’ve
written of tyrants and gang bangers, when I understand the NRA and the Black
Panthers, I’ll come for you. I’ll know you by the end, in your depths and all
your shallows, and I’ll bring you to life with this pen. I have to, because
you’re the last thing that’s killing us all."
Wow. I think I may have just read a piece of genius.
