It's so damned depressing and I see no way to change things. Therefore, I'll ignore it all and go out with a bang when the world collapses.

I think that too might be a point- politics, and the entire rules system of it, has gotten too baroque and convoluted for anyone, even the players themselves, to fully comprehend. <br />Another point- you had mentioned the politician class? Another new class to be added to the mix should be the beaten-down class... those of us who have tried, in between the difficult business of keeping on keeping on and been smacked down and seen it all go to naught for our troubles. Perhaps we should be called the Kicked Dog class... eventually we just stay the fuck under the porch where it's relatively safe. True, it sucks, but we avoid the foot. <br />Politics depresses me to no small end when I try to contemplate it in large scale, so I avoid it and console myself with knowing I'll be dead most likely before all the shit comes raining down. <br />Am I just Mary Fucking Sunshine this morning or what?LeeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883323942030355351noreply@blogger.com
