The liberal idea that we can all be just one big happy multicultural hymn to joy was never
achievable.
Never achievable? Oh, Lawrence. Just go to UC Berkeley or UC Santa Cruz. Or even come to
Silicon Valley. One big multicultural hymn to joy. You'd totally hate it.
You're such a poo-head. Here, I've got something for you. Go outside at 8:21 tonight. Look
straight east. See that big thing in the sky? Yeah, that moon thing. Look at the middle, on
the right side. See those two big dark spots? The Sea of Serenity. The Sea of Tranquility.
Aren't you totally disgusted?
Wait, I got one that you'll like. Okay, back outside at 11:26 tonight. Look west. See that
red star (no, not some commie trick). That's Mars. God of War. You're grinning, now, aren't
you? Get out the 9" telescope. The one that looks like a howitzer. See those two moons
around Mars? They have names. Phoebus and Deimos. That's Mexican for Fear and Trembling. Now
you can look up at the sky and feel your kind of joy.
