Nations fail when the institutions become extractive institutions which are trying to extract resources from other people.

Those organizations that try to create a level playing field, and allow self-governance are the ones that succeed.

Equality leads to security.

Inequality leads to denial that the society is failing.

Look around us. What do you think we should do?

胸椎の圧迫骨折をして、電車に乗るのにヘルプマークをもらおうとおもったのに、なんとどこの区役所も在庫切れで入荷未定。そして、悪用する奴がいることも知った。今そんなことで憤りを覚えても、私がさらにしんどくなるだけだから、「怒らない。怒らない。」と、呪文のように自分に言い聞かせているNOW。

I'm used to going to cons on my own but idk about this one. I'll think about it.

ozcomiccon.com/twilight-fan... I fully legitimately want to go to this to meet Catherine Hardwicke and tell her she rules and also to get a photo with the hot dads. I've tried to talk my friends into going with me but none of them are biting. Melbourne to Geelong is totally feasible for a day trip.

Different vibe from the first/only album, but that was 17 years ago so understandable. I like and hope a second album is coming!
