Stuff, mostly about a (non)Revolution
I feel like I should post about something right now. I’m up in Appleton at the moment, and had some ideas, but I want to flesh them out before I post them.

I guess I’m just going to intrigue you for now.

One of my ideas was kinda sexually explicit in nature--and completely fictional, for your information. I’m not even sure why I thought of it.

The other is about our need for a revolution that’s not happening right now, and how people may well perceive a problem or problems, but are not sufficiently discomfited by them to act towards a solution. There needs to be a comfortable amount of discomfort for them to do anything, and possibly do something drastic. Of course, there’s always going to be individuals who act upon advancing a solution in spite of not having a sufficient amount of discomfort, but they are the exception, not the rule.

I was initially going to use the TomboyBlogposter plugin to post this (I really like Tomboy), but I can’t figure out how to get it to work with LiveJournal.

Discomfort in modern society? Perish the thought. Fear, based in the media, maybe, but not stepping on egg shells.

All of our modern advances have been towards comfort - plush leather seats and ergonomic pens. What could possibly make us want to turn all that on it's ear and join a riot?
