I'm still debating within my head what to blog about next, but in the mean time, I have something to share. I was browsing the World of Warcraft forums, and I found this post. If only the world was like this, it would be so much of a better place.
"There's many things I'd like to respond to in this thread... but instead of joining the fray, I'm going to post a brief, subjective though-belch as a kind of a pallatte-cleanser (I hope).
I find that in current political discourse, we do not debate what our ideals are and what values we aspire to uphold as a society, a nation or a planet. Instead, we split ourselves into convenient, binary oppositions and demonize the "other side", arguing that "they" conspire to dominate us, and that by eliminating their ideas we will, essentially, fix everything that is wrong.
In this sense, WoW often seems to me to be a striking analog of our real life situation, just with a much more interesting backdrop of dragons & magic & stuff.
Please carry on."
