Dear Society to Which You, We, She and He All Belong:

So we rocked it, right?

Dang diggitty we did. And are. And will, still. The beat don’ stop until the break of dawn.

And it’s always dawn somewhere.

We know some people out there find us raggedy, unkempt, and perhaps congenitally disorganized. And by nature we surely are highly suspicious of organization. Chaos, we get; chaos we like. We understand that from the joyous, raucous frenzy of the subatomically chaotic flowers the life we all know.

Of all the common good in prospect for Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2011, we can think of few tidings happier than the repeal of the loathsome federal policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." DADT was the scourge of loyal American military personnel who happened to be gay or lesbian for 17 years, and its demise is to be celebrated.
