I now have my own message board over on The Keenedom, Brian Keene’s forum. He’s a very generous guy who’s been giving a ton of writers a space of their own and I can’t thank him enough for it. So, if you want to chat with me, talk about the books or get the scoop on my latest project, that will be the place to do it. I strongly advise everyone to check it out, if not for me, then for all the other amazing writers who now have their own message boards there. You have to register, but trust me, that is a good thing. Keeps the undesirables to a minimum.
Hope to see you there!
OLD ABSOLUTELY DOESN’T MEAN RIGHT
Unknown
I don’t care how old your tradition is,
or how old your belief is,
or how socially accepted it is.
Old absolutely doesn’t mean right.
It’s not cool to eat a tiger
It’s not brave to hunt whales
It’s not spiritual to drink bear gall bladder
It’s not clever to hang a deer head on your wall
It’s not a public service to kill sharks
It’s not patriotic to club seals
No matter how sanctioned or revered it is,
It’s violent and it’s ugly and it’s soulless.
Just like slavery,
and child labor,
and police brutality,
And genital mutilation,
and ethnic cleansing,
and lynching,
and torture,
and rape,
and military dictatorships,
and Holy wars.
They’re old, too.
Old absolutely doesn’t mean right.
