Rock. On.

Celia Farber posted one of the bravest and most intelligent posts I’ve read on one of my favorite raves, Dean’s World. In one short ‘graph she says what has long needed to be said on this highly overrated day of worldwide fawning:

Today is World AIDS Day. One expected to be bludgeoned by propaganda. Instead, there was an unprecedented outbreak of real and candid reportage. This article linked below, featured as the only article about “World AIDs Day” on AOL News, is stunning both for what it says and for what it does not say. A few passing and obligatory catechisms tossed to the AIDS Church but none of the usual breathless obscenities. It actually reads like a discerning human being wrote it, not a parakeet. This strikes me as significant. Radical change in consciousness is now inevitable. If AOL News can do it, anybody can.
