I’ve pissed and moaned quite long enough. Unfortunately, I started the Mr. Disproportionate Response blog just as my signature disproportionate responses were coming to a close. No longer am I nearly as angry or as insecure as I was. My quality of life is much, much higher. Things have changed, a lot, and pretty much everything that I would hope to say about the world, the government, politics, finances… Whatever–other people are saying it better, and they already have more exposure than I do.
Instead, I’m going to take this blog into a different direction. As of today, we’re going to go all Erwin Schrodinger around here. We’re going to play the other (well, AN other) set of quantum cards. We’re going to play a massive game of “What If…” Going forward, this blog will reflect an ever more divergent world and world view. Beginning today and with all of the dynamic events of the last few weeks, we’re going to run this blog as a diary of someone living a daily life in a world where things are turning much more bleak, much darker, much faster than they are in our world. Hopefully, my exploration of an increasingly dystopian world will entertain, maybe even thrill or surprise. Most of all, though, I hope that folks who see it will have the perspective to realize that no matter how bad the things in the world are, they’re better than they could be, and moreover, we still have the rights and power to make it better.
Let me say that again:
No matter how bad, bleak, and dark our world is, it could be worse, and we still have the right, the power, and opportunity to make the world better.
And so: It begins.
