The Return of Irony

[Atman]

Here is an excerpt from my latest rant, after a weekend in NYC. Fresh new cartoons and stuff, too. - RMcG

Now, here I was, enjoying myself as if at Disney World. I was oblivious to the horrific hole in the earth nearby which will forever smolder with the stench of something very, very wrong, and of the lost screams of 2700 souls pleading only for justice.

Running into Boy George in street clothes on Halloween Night was delicious irony.

Running into the realization that there are so many unanswered questions, and that such serious threats to our constitution as those being perpetrated by the Bush Administration and Ashcroft Justice Department, can be so easily pushed from our consciousness by a marketing-driven festival of make-believe demons...that's one big scary irony that should spook each and every one of us.

2. A moving experience!

Thanks, mod...I was worried when the thread went missing without a trace that my rant was somehow too hot to handle, what with the opening 'graph about the schoolgirls and all. Everyone is so touchy these days!

Anyway, I was just re-reading it...it maybe could have used the flourish of a good editor to reign in it's ramblings here and there, but I think it is a good rant. If I do say so myself. Glad to know it didn't get axed.
