codpiece hagiography: Shitting in the bed.

Shitting in the bed.

The History channel just had a program on the Yellowstone National park. I only managed to wake up in time to catch the last ten minutes or so, which dealt primarily with snow mobile issues. Images of crowds stinking up the place with their two-stroke offal, and nervous buffulo trying to dodge, run away from, herds of nylon and down coveredsnow mobilers was a sickening one. A narrarator was discussing the importance of fat in the buffulo and how the unneccesary activity might mean the difference between survival and not for the beasts who call the place their home.

A sign above one of the gates states "For the benefit and enjoyment of the people". The operator of a local snow mobile concern discusses the economic impact of laws governing the use, type, and quantity of snowmobiles at the park, "It'll kill us" or somesuch is provided, and I think of the owner of the linens concern, who has done a booming business with "Shit the Bed Lodge™", crying to whomever will listen when the Hotel is closed as a Public Health risk.

Gettysburg Address

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who died here that that nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have hallowed it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
