Reverend Nick Rages Against the Dying of the Light

Well, it's a holiday, so I think I'll just post an example of why I think Nick Tosches is such a great writer: "We should not subscibe to the confectionary lies called history any more than we should subscribe to the confectionary lies of a politically correct and ordered present. We should not even look back. The past, like our shared future, is a common grave, nothing more. All the wisdom that the past ever held is in every passing breath. And wisdom is devastating in its deliverance."
