While perhaps satisfying to the glands, Mr. Chinaski, remember that this approach will advance the cause with which you identify so closely little, if at all. Those that have the responsibility for allocating such resources will no doubt realize that the election is, in the end, about our 43rd president, and not about the ciphers of Hollywood who, incidentally, wouldn't recognize screenplay talent if it bit them on their sclerotic asses.
And you're doing well, Mr. Chinaski. Keep working at it.
Wm. Faulkner

I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
