Pelosi has claimed that she and her Democratic cohort in Congress are trying to save life on the planet as we know it. I have no doubt they are, and I hope they fail because life as we know it is intolerable. I don't want to save a world that has betrayed my ancestors' heroic efforts to carve human liberty and dignity out of millennia of Darwinian muck. I would readily embrace an economic meltdown, default, depression, and abject poverty if it would mean I could recover what my ancestors enjoyed -- the right to be left the hell alone. No politician should be able to inflict the tremendous harm that confronts us now; it makes no difference which side wins the cataclysmic debate, for the debate's very existence shows that the dam has broken. Let the waters rage and scour the political and social landscape clean so we can start over.
