if there is hope, it lies in the proles
they're rioting in burma/myanmar/one-of-those-countries-most-americans-otherwise-don't-know-about-because-its-too-small, and i'm still wondering about what happened in thailand last year. they had a coup! then, no big news. the king sanctioned it, they said, then they censored youtube and other video sites. what?
after hearing about indonesia and the pogroms in jakarta ten years ago, something i had never heard about before very recently, i did some research on that, too.
this post doesn't have a point, necessarily, but to say that there are some pretty weighty things going on in the world, and we, in america, are going to have an election soon after eight years of some very unfocused bumbling by people who were trying to corral these world events into a neat little pie and failed. george washington is worth less than a loon.
what will happen?
what has happened?
what is happening at this moment?
After Blair finished his studies at Eton, his family could not pay for university and he had no prospect of winning a scholarship, so in 1922 he joined the Indian Imperial Police, serving at Katha and Moulmein in Burma. He came to hate imperialism, and when he returned to England on leave in 1927 he decided to resign and become a writer. He later used his Burmese experiences for the novel Burmese Days (1934) and in such essays as A Hanging (1931), and Shooting an Elephant (1936).
