It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of
a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into
privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing
algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the
planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times. Ya gotta love that Alan Keyes, coming in to Illinois from out of state to show people a good time. He's wacky! He's zany! He's insaaaaane! The latest from Alan Keyes: " Christ would not vote for Barack Obama. " Well, duh. For one thing, Jesus is not registered to vote in Illinois. (Is Alan Keyes registered to vote in Illinois yet, or is he still voting in Maryland?) For another thing, Jesus does not have a birth certificate, and he's unlikely to get one with that story about "virgin birth". Then there's that problem of Jesus having been put in a tomb about two thousand years ago. You see, if someone who has been buried as dead "rises" from the grave to vote, it's widely interpreted as voter fraud. Woo hoo! Voting with the messiah - Alan Keyes is craaaaazy!
