Browsing the blogs on this site I get the feeling that there are an awful lot of people around who don't know what they want and don't like what they've got. And maybe that's just how most people are.
If so, that would explain talk radio, bumper stickers, 2 terms of Bush, xenophobia, low voter turnout, internet discussion boards, credit-funded luxury, and other things that make me want to line up more or less everyone and slap them awake.
Addendum: Not that I've got it all figured out. But I do try to keep my whinging about circumstances within my power to change to a minimum. And so do most of my friends. I'm so not referring to any of them with this entry; the common quality of people I'm attracted to is the innate ability to pick a direction and put one foot in front of the other. That's a quality that's easy to take for granted when you're surrounded by it, and yet it's quite rare.

I expected an ending different than a slap, and note that this level of attention to individual pox could consume a significant amount of your life given the exponential rate of infection. The logical defense appears to be monasticism or several 900 page works of bifurcated satire. I will apply to be your first penitent, cleaning the library and keeping the pencils neat.

But ... but ... butt ... I can't wipe myself.
