There are people who celebrate keeping people who love each other apart.  There are people who make it their pathetic life’s work to keep two people who belong together from being together.  There are people who revel in not letting others be genuinely happy, and making them feel like second-rate citizens in their own country, for the want of “preserving tradition.

And, to paraphrase the great Morgan Freeman at the end of Shawshank Redemption, I hope that last night’s Pedro performance, even though he didn’t beat the Yanks, puts some fear back in the hearts of New York fans. I hope Pedro has a chance to face them again. I hope that the next game he pitches will be the Phillies’ 2009 World Series clincher. I hope he’s on the mound when the Yanks’ 2009 title aspirations get flushed out to sea. I hope he gets carried off the mound by his teammates after striking out A-Rod to end the series. I hope, at that precise moment, every member of the Yankees organization is brought up on steroids charges. I hope that NY fans spend the night burning their livers with whiskey while Pedro is crowned mayor of Philly. I hope Rodan picks up the new Yankee Stadium with his massive claws and carries it out to sea, tossing it into the tide like an empty soda can.

I hope. I hope.

But maybe the Yankees win and maybe Microsoft wins and maybe the rest of us will have the put up with yet another round of insufferable arrogance from the fat billionaire blowhard that runs, well, either one. Yes, ultimately, it comes down to what happens on the field, in the competition, and there’s enough lumbering muscle on both bullies to walk away with another round of lunch money. But for anybody with any heart, there’s nothing better than watching Goliath go down.

But there is a more compelling argument. We owe it to ourselves. It is the right thing to do. It will promote the general welfare. It will assist in our pursuit of life and happiness. The arguments against it come disguised in ideology designed to conceal their common motivation: Selfishness.
