Subject: Loss of morality
New York Times, June 12, 1989, pA14
Proclaiming that "our mission is accomplished," the
Rev. Jerry Falwell announced today that the Moral
Majority would close its doors this summer.
The announcement of the end of the best-known institution
of the religious right came after a troubled year and a
half in which the movement suffered seriously from financial
and sexual scandals involving television evangelists and
had seen a Presidential candidate from its ranks, the Rev.
Pat Robertson, win only a handful of Republican delegates
in 1988.

Rev. Glasser's poem put me in mind of a song from... ah heck! Never mind
where it's from. I've written this same into three times already, but
it's never yet made it into the digest. For all I care, you can pretend
that *I* wrote it. I give up!

DESPAIR TIRE
(Accompanied throughout by someone playing hambone, and the soft sounds
of a sulphurous sucking mudhole.)
"How good's yer hearin'?" / The Voice said across the wire.
"You got marryin' cousins / Or any fer hire?
You got dollars or donuts / Fresh from the fire?
You got any ol' sod / Or any fresh mire?
You got sons a-gone loco / Or whores that you sired?
You notions or ideas / to crawl up on the pyre?
What've you got?" said the Voice, / And I said, "I got Despair Tire."
I been spinnin' around / Just to get higher.
I recalled an old tune -- / Figgered I'd try 'er.
(some mad fiddle)
"I cain't here a thing," / I said in a burst,
"But I coulda sworn / I wasn't here first."
"That's what I thought," / The Voice said like a gas,
"But I'll guaran-double-damn-tee you could be the last."
"Well thanks but no thanks," / I said reachin' higher,
"And forget the hotrod / And let go my spare tire!"
"Oh sure!" said the whiskey/ "Oh suurre!" said the Voice
"Aw suuurrrre!" said the answer which wasn't a choice.
"Oh sure!" said the ashes. / "Oh sure!" said the fire.
"<bp-hekafff!>" said the motor. / And <oo-yawn> oh, Despair Tire.
(more mad fiddle)
There is nothin' to it / And not much to be
Shoutin' and hootin' / Or singin' with glee
Yep, it got pretty gruesome / There just by the Fall
And by the next Christmas / No one stood tall
And now who sits waitin' / To hear another town crier
Come screechin' the news / That they stole Despair Tire?
Well let 'em screech 'til they mantra! / Let them hem like they haw!
Let us seek out a sutra! / Let's hear the crow caw!
And sing out a good one / Fer Ma and fer Pa!
And let us dance higher! / And may we fly far!
And when we get home / Don't ferget Despair Tire!
(the whole bamn dand!)

Woman's life in danger, yes. Livelihood I have problems with. Would it be
just for you to kill someone who threatened to fire you from your job? Your
livelihood would be in danger? Nine months. Nine stupid months is all we're
talking about here. Jesus gave his life. Can we not give nine months?
