well soft
Wednesday 23rd January 2008 10:57 PM
Today I bought a machine, from the machine, to fight the machine. It was made in China, and I ordered it over the internet from a German company. It arrived in three separate boxes, delivered on three different days, not because I was trying to shake the government off my tail, but because of some refreshing German inefficiency.
Some readers will imagine, that with all this talk of fighting, that this machine must be something akin to a light-sabre, as used
very effectively for the forces of Good, by Des Skywalker, in a film that was advertised at my local cinema as 'arS Warts'.
The fact is, I don't need a light-sabre, because my brother Matthew's got one that he doesn't play with any more, that he says I can have. No, the hours getting late, and it's time to put away such childish things.
When you confront the powers of darkness with weaponry, and threats of violence, they laugh and lick their lips, and lap it up. They love it! They absolutely love it! What they don't like, is being subjected to non-Tarantinoesque, extreme non-violence. Go on, smack 'em between the ears with fierce truth!
Mahatma Ghandi was well soft, and no stranger to dishing out extreme non-violence when it suited him. Disciplined as a soldier, lion-hearted as a saint, this Ben Kingsley-in-a-dish-cloth look-a-like could, at one moment, be hurling mighty words of white light and wisdom against the demon-controlled structures of the planet, and the next, calmly eating a bowl of porridge.
Over the last few years I've amassed quite a collection of mighty words, and this spring I've decided I'm going to start hurling them in village halls in the York area, and because I want my voice to be heard above the anguished cries of the dispossessed, I've bought a 150 watt amplifier and two big speakers on stands. It's black and chrome and carpeted, and looks like a night-club.It's a public address system, from the system, to address the system.
