Aug. 6th, 2005 02:23 pmLIBERALITY FOR ALL #1
It is 2021, tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11 It is up to an underground group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives led by Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North to thwart Ambassador Usama Bin Laden's plans to nuke New York City... And wake the world from an Orwellian nightmare of United Nations dominated ultra-liberalism.
(Read complete synopsis) or (see 5-page preview)
It's one of those train wreck moments. What I really find horrifyingly funny — and more horrified than funny, really — is that of all people, they choose as heroes Oliver "Iran Contra" North and G. Gordon "Watergate" Liddy. It's not even good satire; the writing is reminiscent, if anything, of one of Jack T. Chick's post-apocalyptic screeds, like "The Beast" and in particular, "The Last Generation".
You might want to take a shower after reading the preview. I know I did.
P.S. For some reason, chick.com is blocked by the Singapore government. Not that I'm complaining about this particular piece of censorship, mind...

Think of the children
Aug. 6th, 2005 11:46 pmThese days, I've been thinking about children more and more. Not that it looks likely that I'll have any, but more about the next generation down, on what I have to offer them, or what I want them to have.
Waiting for the bus home this evening, I realised that while obviously I wish our children a safer world, more than that — and I'd be willing to trade this one for the other — I want a world with no closed doors, no dead ends, where they can be anything they want to be, a world of endless possibilities with no barriers.
I'd be happy with that.
