“Mad” As Hell…
Sorry, for all of those who have been checking this blog and asking me to add more content, I’ve got a lot of unfinished work that I’ve done for the blog, including 1000 words on the situation in the Middle East that decomposed into sewage and has therefore been abandoned, 340 words on the Economy vs. the Environment and whether manufactured economic recovery is really set to bring us to a viable long term solution or is it just prolong the inevitable? As well as a current events spinoff about South Africa’s decision to deny entry to the Dali Lama, and whether China’s economic influence is beginning take on the characteristics of the influence of the Americans since WWII. I tell you this not to make excuses, but rather to tell you that like this blog my writing is a work in progress. I’m much better at starting an article than finishing one, once the guts have been placed out all on the table. I hope to have a clearer vision of what the end product will look like once the idea is spawned but at the moment I’m sloshing through the tenth circle of hell, which is trying to find your voice in print.
The following rant by Peter Beale is from the 1976 satire “Network” by Sidney Lumet, and I’d like to include it here as a post modern (i.e. stolen) video portrait of of the editorial side of my blog, which has been so kindly described as “rants” by those in my family.
Or maybe Charles Manson’s Epic Question is a better fit, you decide…
