ContraCelsum Backup

Dear Reader: Although Google professes to have a policy of free speech, there are now disturbing examples of Google peremptorily shutting down blogs on the Blogger platform espousing views which (presumably) Google wants to censor. Therefore ContraCelsum has set up a mirror blog via WordPress (http://contracelsum.com/). We update the latter weekly. If this site should suddenly go dark, you will find ContraCelsum alive and well at the above address. You may want to bookmark it now (just in case).

9/11 Ten Year Memorial

Paul Simon at Ground Zero.  

Simon is one of the finest poets of our generation, and one of its most accomplished musicians. 


Simon's evocative rendition of Sounds of Silence becomes a lament for a lost civilization.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made . . .

. . . there was no answer. We are truly lost.

May God have mercy upon us all.
