So
my idea is now in
gestation.
Again, in the middle of things. This is where I will
put all my thoughts regarding the Bush Dynasty, the impending war
on Iraq, and American imperialism in general. I feel like we are at
a cusp in history, akin to the era of the First Triumvirate of the
Roman Republic. Things are changing, for better and for worse, and
while this will definitely not be a journalistic endeavor, I want
to try to capture something of the mood at the local, personal
level. Mostly this will showcase my bleeding-heart liberal ranting
and raving, but at the same time, I want to provide a snapshot with
more of an aesthetic than political agenda. (Although, yes, I know
that art is by it's very nature political.) But yeah, I want to
describe how things are, what is happening, how people are
reacting, rather than trying to posit how things should be. Yes, I
have my own personal political agenda, but that is not the
point.
In other words, I suppose this is just another warblog,
another post-September 11 exercise in mental auto-fellatio. So be
it.
Still, this isn't the first time I've
mentioned that the Great Experiment is beginning to fail. And now
that I think about it, I started noticing even earlier than
that.
