Oh So Very Jaded

It takes a lot of energy to be a keyboard warrior. To begin with, you have to care about things. These things usually appear abstract to most people because they are what you would call ‘ideas’ and ‘principles’. “But I have to go to work tomorrow”, people yawn. “Who cares about children playing with unexploded ordnance in Iraq or drone attacks in Pakistan? I have a massive rego bill to pay and I have no freakin’ idea what I’m gonna wear on Saturday night.”

Well, allow me to quote Plato (it makes me sound intelligent):

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
