An Excerpt from: A New Millennium Interview
“It might be amusing if only two actors perform this entire play: the commentator and a gifted actor who impersonates the roles of the five personalities who are being interviewed in sequence by Sammy Zimmerman, a popular TV talk-show host.
During the last day of the 20th century, between the hullabaloo of the worldwide spectacles transmitted via satellites, Sammy Zimmerman interviews four religious leaders—High Buddhist monk Rinpoche Jitendra, the Monsignor Pastafagiolini, Rabbi Elijah Matuschanskayasky, Imam Ahmed Ali Marzouk Boom-Boom Rahim, and a psychedelically attired modern-day philosopher named Neo-Diogenes. The performers are given a free hand in acting out their roles.”
"C: Knock it off, Neo. You’re out of your skull, old boy. Well, I can tell you right now, this very moment in fact, there are folks out there salivating about getting their hands on your hide, fella.
P: More than six billion travelers on board our tiny spaceship right now, one third trapped in inhumane poverty, slavery, prostitution, many mentally and physically handicapped by childhood malnutrition and all that bad stuff, my man.
C: Well, yeah, a very discouraging picture for sure, but….
P: Statistical projections show that if we keep breeding at the present rate to please the gods, the popes, the imams, and cowardly politicians, just one hundred years from now the Earth's gonna turn into a thirsty rodent-nest with over 30 billion humanoid-rats chewing at each other.
C: That many? Oh, God have mercy."
