Existence, as we know it, is full of sorrow. To mention only one minor point every man is a condemned criminal, only he does not know the date of his execution. This is unpleasant for every man. Consequently every man does everything possible to postpone the date, and would sacrifice anything that he has if he could reverse the sentence. Practically all religions and all philosophies have started thus crudely, by promising their adherents some such reward as immortality. No religion has failed hitherto by not promising enough the present breaking up of all religions is due to the fact that people have asked to see the securities. Men have even renounced the important material advantages which a well organized religion may confer upon a State, rather than acquiesce in fraud or falsehood, or even in any system which, if not proved guilty, is at least unable to demonstrate its innocence. Being more or less bankrupt, the best thing that we can do is to attack the problem afresh without preconceived ideas. Let us begin by doubting every statement. Let us find a way of subjecting every statement to the test of experiment. Is there any truth at all in the claims of various religions Let us examine the question.

Hi. You know with everything going down in West Palm Beach, and the holidays right around the corner I couldn't think of a better time to share one of my favorite children's classics, it's called: How the Grinch Stole the Election. And ah--I'd like to read it to you now, shall we?<br/><br/>Every Jew down in Jew-vile liked elections a lot,<br/>But the Grinch who lived over in Austin did not.<br/>I know they'll be voting for Gore, he was thinking,<br/>By Wednesday--the latest--I'll be back to my drinking.<br/>Election Day came and the voting was close,<br/>At one point the Grinch even started to boast,<br/>'It's the Grinch by a nose!' all the newsmen exclaimed,<br/>Even Dan Rather who was clearly insane.<br/>But was he the winner, hey not so fast--<br/>Al Gore called him up and said, Grinch, kiss my ass!<br/>The race was too tight to say who was elected,<br/>The Grinch was so stressed his face got infected.<br/>All eyes turned to Jewville to sort out the mess,<br/>But Hyman and Hershel and dear old Aunt Bess,<br/>Were too senile to vote for the one that they liked,<br/>They poked the wrong hole and joined the Third Reich.<br/>The Jews down in Jewville took to the streets,<br/>To complain about fraud, not to mention the heat.<br/>The Grinch said something that couldn't be gosher,<br/>'This election my friends, is perfectly kosher.'<br/>Then a judge ruled each vote should be counted by hand,<br/>The Grinch said, 'That's not what my brother Jeb had planned.'<br/>His lawyers filed motions and junctions and writs,<br/>Demanding that Gore and the Jews call it quits.<br/>But just when the Grinch thought the deal had gone through,<br/>He met Cindy Lou Lipshitz, age 92.<br/>'Why?' she cried, 'Did you steal our election?'<br/>The Grinch just laughed and gave her a lethal injection.<br/>They say the Grinch's ego grew 3 sizes that day,<br/>Unfortunately his brain went the opposite way.<br/>So here's a lesson for now and for later,<br/>Dont blame me-- I voted for Nader!

Every fact of science was once Damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and progress, everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, Disobedience was man's Original Virtue.

I am bourgeois to the core and parochial beyond belief, and yet I am drawn to art and scholarship as my anti-type, my shadow, the voice of distinction I never possessed. I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors.
