I have a couple of back entries I wrote while on holiday - one really depressing one about the death of the Enlightenment, and one sort of Jungian archetypal one about how your friends are actually representations of your inner psyche. I can't really get up the motivation to type them in right now, though. I can't get up the motivation to do much of anything, including looking for a job which I desperately need or writing an e-mail to Val.

Our government is run by liars and cowards who seek to suspend the rights on which the country is founded - and so far, they seem to be pretty damn successful, which isn't so hard when you demolish the system of checks and balances. As an economist, I believe in dollar votes, so I keep putting off doing my income taxes. I haven't gotten a new job. I avoid buying things with sales taxes. I use very little gas.

Yesterday someone said on the radio that "idiotic peacenik wannabe-hippies" should fuck off and die because we have to attack Iraq to prevent terrorist acts like the Oklahoma City Bombing.

I hate this country.
