The long quiet

Okay, it's been four months since my last post, so how can I possibly continue to call this "Your Daily Outrage"? Well, friends, we better start thinking of it as "Your Occassional Outrage", I'm afraid. The truth is, the current state of the world provides so much hypocrisy, double-speak, ignorance, and senseless destruction, that I am unable to keep up with it all, and most days just want to ignore it and get on with my life.

In general terms, the trends I am most concerned about right now: expansion of US military aggression in the middle east (i.e., Iran); the establishment of a de-facto theocracy in the US; the erosion of civil rights associated with said theocracy; the cultutal rejection of rationality and the scientific method (in short, the rejection of Western civilization since the Enlightenment); the dismantling of our social infrastructure, starting with Social Security; and the deliberate buildup of our nation's debt to make said dismantling politically possible. To name a few.

Anyway, this blog was never supposed to be about politics, it was supposed to be about tech issues. Maybe I'll try to get back to my roots.

Peace...
