Emergent Glurge
Perhaps I should take up the idea of Anti-Glurge in a serious fashion. Don't you think it would be wonderful to receive a delightful vignette about the cruelty of life and the courage of a resilient young soul where the expected miraculous twist at the end takes a detour and ends up even worse than you could possibly imagine? It would restore your faith in human nature. It would help to make sense of this crazy world.

That's right, use the mousey thing to click the 'forward message' option and send it to all your AOL buddies."
There once was a naive young Virge
who thought global mind could emerge
from a network of souls
sharing worries and goals
but it drowned in the spam, sex and glurge.
