The war of ideas must be waged by various and intelligent means. To be right is one thing, but to be right and laugh with eternal merriment is another. Joy and laughter break the spell of time, the creepings of death and the awareness of potential failure. Most street demonstrations and marches and protests are full of angry and violent faces. If only they knew that to be serious and playful is not to contradict oneself, but to provide the greatest means of persuasion and personal satisfaction. To save the world is a noble cause, but one must never lose sight and sound and smell and taste and touch of that very intuition I would hope prods one along---the awareness of the wild joy and mystique that is everywhere.
