An open letter to the world:
Mar. 10th, 2008 11:19 pmListen, I know you feel the call of duty. I do.
But last I checked, I had not participated in the vote for general arbiter of all that is right, good, or useful in the world.
When we do hold such an election, be sure to wake me. I promise to vote in a careful and conscientious manner.
Until then - really, feel free to lay down your burdens. You do not need to take the job for your own. No, really. No, really. When the world decides it needs somebody to tell us which books are okay to read, and which ones are only okay if we're adults, and which pictures are safe to see and which ones are dangerous for children under the age of 35 - on that day, we're as sure to turn to you as you are sure to jump to the call. Until then, you can just go take a little nap of your own. How about under a mountain somewhere, safe until your country, nay, your very world needs you again?
I promise - we won't forget the thankless task you've made your own for so many years. But now, now it's time to rest from it.
Seriously - knock it off already. It's getting a little annoying.
