“History rhymes.” What sort of a topic is that? Anyway, I shan’t complain. I’ve wasted many an afternoon in doing all sorts of lame rubbish so today’s afternoon can’t be considered a complete waste of time.
On a different note, I can’t help but wish people were more involved in debate training (not to be confused with the _________ series of NE “debates”). It’s an activity I have really come to enjoy and one that I hope to attain some fulfillment pursuing.
I’ve also been reading widely. McCarthyism, Darfur, climate crisis, biofuels, World War 2, Kosovo and so on. Someone asked me why (or rather, “What the fuck are you doing this for?”) and I realized I couldn’t really answer him. But does my desire to stay informed need some sort of justification? Does any desire require justification?
I don’t have much to say because nothing really significant has been going on. School, grades, debate, research, tiredness, a few good men (and women).
