Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Back In The Saddle


The Great Meetings Week has begun here at school.  Inevitably, these meetings say the same thing year after year.  Some of the details change, but the form follows the same familiar grooves.  

Because it only happens once a year, it's not mind-numbing.  In fact, it's a gentle ritual to get us ready for the school year.

And unlike Thing One and Thing Two's school, we have power, so that's a plus.

I want to post something lengthy on Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine, but that will have to wait a few days.
