Want to Dissent

Categories: Politics

I tell you...a day like today, with increase of troops, an attack on Iran's consulate, the recent implication that 1 Billion dollars of promised money to eradicate extreme poverty will be withheld as usual and many other small things, make me want to be a dissenter. I held out a little bit of hope that politics would at least do something good, but today I'm done with it. Maybe tomorrow I will be healthily skeptical rather than just put off by the whole system.

I've been reading Kierkegaard (as you know) and one thing he talked about was the ancient Greek mindset of skepticism developed not overnight, but over the course of a lifetime.

So, keep the faith.
