Tom, Tom..Tom!

You're old enough to see that all apples and oranges aren't the only things that a different, by now you should see that apples by themselves are quite disparate as well.

Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago -- centuries, ages, eons, ago! -- for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities. Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction! Strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane -- like all dreams: Clinton who could have made good decisions as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have accepted Sudan's offer to turn over bin Laden, yet never accepted a single overture; who made democrats prize their bitter President, yet stingily shortchanged them of character; who wants to give out money unearned, yet requires others to earn it; who claimed to feel others pain, yet caused a generation of young children to be exposed to perversion in mind and body; who mouths justice and promoted socialized healthcare -- mouths mercy and invented Americare -- mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and married Hillary; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who slept for eight years, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for terrorist rise-ups upon Bush, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites these poor, abused San Francisco women to worship him!...

You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks -- in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier.

It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no Clinton, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream -- a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought -- a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the Habitable Zone!"
