Alas, Brave New Babylon
« on: August 28, 2013, 07:20:34 PM »
Saw this short Story up on Bracken's site, its a good read, the last (4th) chapter is worth reading all by itself, even though its going to offend some progressively minded folks here for sure.

Frankly, for the rapidly diminishing minority of us left who were neither mathematically nor historically illiterate, the years before the Rupture were like living on the slopes of Vesuvius around AD seventy-something, while sniffing the stink of sulfur on the wind. What’s all that smoking and rumbling? a few of us asked. Smiling mainstream media news anchors answered: We’re not sure, but rest easy. Top government experts are studying it, and they will have a full report ready soon.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.
