A light rain has been falling for about an hour. Just saw the first inevitable comment of this type, from some asshole on (of course) Facebook:
"Did people learn NOTHING the last time about living in a bowl ten feet below sea level?"
I ordered myself DO NOT ENGAGE DO NOT ENGAGE DO NOT ENGAGE, but the truth is that these days I usually find it remarkably easy not to engage. Someone commented on last night's entry that they miss seeing me get righteously pissed off. I know what they mean, and I feel like this blog is probably a lot more boring than it used to be, but there seems to be so little anger -- or at any rate so little argument -- in me these days. It's like I don't know how to channel Uncle Harlan anymore. I dunno.
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight
I once believed in causes too, I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right
-- Billy Joel, "Angry Young Man"
