I know. Read my post. It was not partisan.
I was reading this book by Katherine McKittrick a while ago and there was a passage that was actually liberating for me in an odd sort of way. McKittrick suggests that the intent has never been and will never be to remedy these problems (i. e. hunger, poverty, health care reform etc... and the conditions that produce them). The inherent desire of those in power is to constantly reproduce the conditions that keep them in power and mirror back to them their notions of their own status and power, which is why these problems persist even in light of the general advancement that we, as a global society, continue to make. (McKittrick said it so much more eloquently, but the book is at home and I am not.) Anywho, I was persuaded and her argument makes our current circumstances easier to understand.
When I write posts like this, I know it is time to get back to the book project.
