When Pigs Read- The Autobiography of Paige Piglet

When Pigs Read!- the autobiograghy of Paige Piglet on Storybird

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night



Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Quotable Quotes

After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.
Emily Dickinson

Whew finished with exams. Where's the nearest pillow? 

Stop S.O.P.A.

The senate will vote on SOPA Tuesday, January 24th.
SOPA stands to break the machinery of the internet by ruining the DNS system. That’s bad enough. But SOPA is also a censorship schema similar to those used by Iran, Syria, and China.
Why would Congress approve a bad bill? Because several senators are being paid bymedia corporations to make SOPA law.
To stop them, we need 41 senators to block the vote. That’s doable.
But you have to actually DO something.
Action 1: ask your senate representative to vote down the bill. Here’s how.
Action 2: petition congress. Here’s the automated form.
To be clear: this will pass unless we get senators to block it or threaten to not support the re-election of those who do.
Make 2012 the year you busted a bad bill and took back just a bit of power.
