I'm making the choice to be out of touch
In continuing a trend where I'm trying to make a point of verbalizing the seemingly endless flow of thoughts, feelings, and ideas I've been internalizing recently: goodbye, politics. Disillusionment doesn't even cover it. I'm declaring myself Apathetic Towards The Machine. I've unsubscribed from all the mailing lists - the DNC, MoveOn, America Coming Together, even the ACLU. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad they're still fighting, and maybe Dean will figure out how to do so effectively (Howie - I suggest you put Incubus' Beware! Criminal on repeat until your blood boils), but I'm too fucking revolted by the whole process and what it reveals of my countrymen in the aggregate to have anything to do with it for a good long while.

I don't know if it's a positive thing or not that I've always been (like since I was 5) so cynical about geopolitics that I don't get depressed when things go wrong, just pleasantly suprised when things do turn out well. I'm still happily impressed that we made it out of the 20th century without civilization evaporating in atomic fire.
