Why we haven’t been posting much lately

I just found this article that I missed when it ran on November 3rd, but I think its especially relevant now. Please take a few moments to read it before you continue reading.

He had a lot of great things to say.

But paying attention to the world right now is just way to fucking depressing.

We created government to organize things that involve the entire community, like education, health-care, helping the poor, protecting the environment... But now, instead of properly dealing with these important things and more, our resources and tax dollars are being spend on this, in our name, for absolutely no reason.

IS THERE ANY GOOD NEWS ANYWHERE????

I just want to hang out with my friends and play video games and read comic books. Move into a cave. Or onto a new planet. And just not be aware of all this. I seriously can’t handle it. I’m sick of trying to change things and not getting anywhere. I’m sick of paying attention and keeping track. It is just so upsetting without doing any good; I’m completely powerless and frustrated.
