nihilism.jpgCrispin Sartwell’s LA Times op-ed in praise of political nihilism is simply wonderful. I have seen nothing that so aptly captures my feelings about the contemporary political scene. Here excerpted are my favorite pithy planks of the nihilist platform:

Abortion — We are the only party that dares to oppose both life and choice. Life is an infestation, choice an illusion.

Drugs — A great nihilist heroine, Nancy Reagan, once said “Just Say No.” No.

And one more link for you, just because.
