State of the World

Things are probably as fucked as they ever are, but I still believe that change is coming, if not from Obama(I am coming to the conclusion that current leadership, both here and in the US will not give us that change) then certainly from somewhere outside the current framework.

I believe in comedians more than I do politicians these days, I have learnt that you have redress against the institutions that you thought were impregnable, even though you have to sift out the inevitable rants about lizard men.

I understand that every institution fails the individual, and I learnt that, both from years of employment and from David Simon's The Wire. What that means for me, is that I am still determined to do good things, but there exists a certain amount of detachment, which saddens me even as I know that it will be necessary for me to survive.

Will be blogging more now, FB gets a bit turgid and Twitter is oddly enough, too intimate.
