Unfortunately I think the games has become the antithesis of what it is supposed to be. In particular, the government is making changes that make it difficult to protest, or at the very least contains it to specific places, as well as allowing them to come into your home if you post protest messages in your own windows under the guise of protecting ‘brand’.

If we put half the energy into homelessness and drug addiction we’d make a lot more headway into the problems.

Also, I thought I’d point you to my new blog. I’m going solo, trying to get back to writing on a wider variety of subjects, and it feels pretty good so far.

I’ve linked to your site, but there is, of course, no obligation to reciprocate. After all, who knows who’s reading independent blogs anymore?
