music: holiday creation
The short break provided me a chance to make a little music (house) and read up on Aquinas. I have mixed feelings about Him. Reason is cool; natural law, not so much. I suspect my unease with him is kind of like that feeling you get the first time you discover your parents are broken, too.
As for the song, I was going to make something cynical and use televangelist quotes. Then I discovered there are a freakish number of "child preachers" on youtube. I don't know how to interpret it. Foucault would say it is a technology of the self within a particular governmentality but Bobby Clinton would say it's a "sovereign foundation." I think it's creepy, but I know I would like it if I were one of those kids,. Anyways, I found a gentleman preacher- missed the name- and I was taken by his message about the responsibility of preaching. So pushing cynicism aside, I sampled his voice for its integrity.

I cherish your comments, but not vileness or wickedness. By vileness I mean Spam, and wickedness I mean hateful speech. Unless it's about spam.
