The Peacenik Manifesto

We, the Peaceniks,

declare our discontent with inhumane labor, inhumane prisons, and inhumane war,

declare our disgust with pop idols and laboratory Gods, by whose orders the dissection of mice precedes in importance any study of principles,

our simple acceptance of various forms of human sexuality,

our disbelief in matrimony, monogamy, and capitalism,

our fervent devotion to racial equality and diplomacy.

We revile religion and mock meta-physics. We accept what fish, fruits, and beasts fall into our traps; We accept what bounty we may healthily cultivate from the soil. With this receival of our daily bread, we think the most pertinent questions answered.

We know the cosmos must contain extra-terrestrial life, and we look forward to our children or grand-children Being extra-terrestrial life... on the moon and on Mars, which we shall re-name "Prometheus" for his noble defiance of the Gods of his age, and for his daring service to humanity.

Also, we the urge to the attention of the great washed, dogmafied, and manicured masses the single fate of the globe and the cosmic irrelevance of citizenship; Are we not all humans with hands... and fates that rest with the random fall of the cosmic die?

May the prosperous, 1st world man embrace his black skinned, blue-collared brothers, may he lovingly kiss the poor tribal babe, or may he know that his perfume and polite "ethics" do not cover the stench of his greed!

May we forward the notion that the olive branch is fairer than barb-wire, and that even a warty truce is fairer than a forest of mushroom clouds.

So, as brevity is the soul of wit, may there be peace on earth and good-will toward man!!

Ma Salaawm, (arabic for "go in peace")
