Of course, there is no Underground---or Untergrund, as those German
|
||||||
|
new-age kids like to call the movement whose orders they
|
||||||
|
have sworn to follow. The age we all remember---the cliff-green
|
||||||
|
turbocharged convertibles, cigarettes hanging loose in the corners of
|
||||||
|
our mouths, and those trigger-happy fingers always ready for the quick
|
||||||
|
hack---is long gone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In retrospect, it all seems like a candy-colored dream, and it may
|
||||||
|
very well be---after all, there was never any proof that the
|
||||||
|
Untergrund ever existed, and even if there was, we can be sure the
|
||||||
|
obedient followers of the shadowy movement leaders have long burned
|
||||||
|
the papers, subjected the hard drives and diskettes to interminable
|
||||||
|
sessions of the junkyard magnet, and eradicated all shreds of
|
||||||
|
memory from the brains of those who might have talked through long
|
||||||
|
sessions of Tcl hacking to the sounds of Celine Dion records.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Yet there are those who still covet membership in that secret
|
||||||
|
cult---to gain access to its powerful lore, to usurp invidious and
|
||||||
|
powerful superiors, or simply to impress their girlfriends. For those
|
||||||
|
lost souls of the modern age, I have a few words of advice:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's not a question of ``membership''---silly merchandise and
|
||||||
|
ridiculous certificates. If you are truly meant to be part of the
|
||||||
|
Untergrund, you will know. \emph{The Untergrund will find you.}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Alas, probably not.
