I am sorry to say I have done it again. Today, this very day. Three score and nine years ago our mother brought forth upon the city of New York A New Entity, dedicated to the proposition that this one man, at least, would be created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil celebration rejoicing that this man, or any man so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. Here's to the music that binds our weary souls together with the souls of the truly great: Sisyphus and Prometheus. And here's to the illusions and delusions that keep us going as the weary sphere of Gaia rolls on toward her ultimate destiny.
