Grease
Job
To be precise, former U.S. Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright said that there's
a special place
in Hell for
"women who don't help each other." By
which she meant "vote for Hillary Clinton".
Okay, with that out the way <sound of knuckles
cracking> I'd like to share a dream
with you:
I'm standing in front of a new high-speed
train. It's sleek and racy. The rails upon
which its wheels ride are embedded
in a long,
flat ribbon
of
concrete.
There are no wooden ties.
My job is to crawl under one of the
cars and make some minor adjustments. I
enjoy being under the train. It's quiet
and the concrete is warm beneath me.
Suddenly there's a hissing sound and
the train car unexpectedly lowers until
its outside edges are nearly touching the
concrete. It's preparing itself for departure
and being lower to the ground means better
aerodynamics, but
it
also
means
I'm trapped
under the train,
barely able to breathe.
As I struggle to escape the train begins
to move. I yell for someone to stop the
train.
It
picks
up
speed and I'm crushed against the back
edge. I yell for someone to stop the train!
The train is rapidly accelerating. I can
feel my skin being abraded by the concrete
surface,
leaving
a slick
smear of blood and skin to mark my passage.
I yell for someone to STOP THE TRAIN!
That's when I woke up.
I share this awful dream because being
under that train and being painfully ground
to
death
is
what
I would
define
as "a special place in Hell".
And if I understand the
concept of Hell correctly it would mean
experiencing that kind of death over and
over and over,
for all eternity.
I understand that Ms. Albright was just
convulsively waxing hyperbolic
but someone of her notoriety should pick their words more carefully. It's the
sort of statement we expect from the conservative
side of
the
aisle,
although
they prefer to turn it around
as "God
wants me to be president."
If
Ms. Albright prefers Ms. Clinton, that's
fine, but there are many, much more suitable
targets for her particular brand of damnation
than women who simply prefer to take a
more secular approach
to candidate
selection.
