    Going Globo

    I’ve been feeling massively apathetic about politics, basically since 2004, but more profoundly in the last year or so. The situation has seemed simultaneously so comical and dire that I haven’t had the stomach for it.

He published two documents this week entitled The QuestionAuthority Proposal and The Open Source Party Proposal. They have me sort of excited, because for the first time in a long time I’m thinking about politics as practical and tangible, rather than the televised dog-and-pony vision of politics that we get from Washington, DC.
