the greatest challenge of our generation
exercises in cynicism and hope (4)
~ Political cartoon by Ted Rall
Have we really arrived at the end of history? Have the great debates of ideology already ended? Is our current system of capitalism and democracy the best of all possibilities? Is our most important duty to our society now to buy and to blog? Or is another world possible? (implicit in that question: is a better world possible?)
Meanwhile, it appears that I will continue to buy and to blog. After all, I am a product of my culture.

Blogging doesn't have to be vain, just like speaking doesn't have to be babble.
Waaah! Reading this entry and the last one makes me miss Lamas' class!
Thanks for the encouragement Nick. Yes, not all words are vain, and words play a crucial role in the way we shape our world. But arguably, words without actions are in vain.
RXH, let's go and change the world together!
