SAY TO YOURSELF, I AM GOD.That’s right. Imagine it. Now, do some tricks, try out Your powers.Hide in a far Nothingat the edge of light. Drift near Far Tortuga in a leaky turtle boat. Melt an icecap, craft a crop circle, have sex with a virus.Now, go to the city of Washington and read a few minds. Pick up a copy of the Washington Post.Hang out with a drug or weapons lobbyist at a local bar. Try to reconcile the biases, irrationalities, and politics You encounter into something that makes sense for the good of all.In other words, try to un-Babel this city...You cannot.It is impossible, even for You. Being all-powerful, You have “created” a place even You will never sort out.Short of an alien invasion or flaming snakes from the sky (at least twice a week), two worlds will always prevail in Washington and trump all Godlike efforts: the World of Idolsand the World of Ideals.
