... in my old age...

1. It used to be that internet communities were meant to be just that: communities on the internet. With communities come politics, but at least it used to be more organic; people self-managed; that was the beauty of those communities. What I do not understand, is why there are so many more people insistent on telling people what they can or cannot do now and why so many communities are so tightly moderated now. There is an automatic elite class - we seem to moving from a participatory democracy to an oligarchy.

Maybe I am old-school: I still believe that communities are meant for people to talk to one another, share their interests and indulge in firing up passion in a common area. Shared space! Open space! Simple house rules, play nice, and have fun!

But sigh...

2. I injured my back. There is no way to sleep. Lord. And I injured it jumping.  I am 27 damn it. That's too young for an injured back from exercise! LIGHT exercise. Sigh...
