Unprincipled Certainty

Yeah, you can make human sacrifice to dialectical history
      with druids and Marx
And you can root for truffles on Wall Street
But until you see the fallout on your
      greasy fork
You’re just a vapid bowling alley
      attendant
           on graveyard. 

–Zumwalt (1981?)
