Yes, it's seldom that a cheerful writer is a good one, or.. oh, I didn't mean that as snottily as it sounded, so could you just rework that in your head so I don't sound like a pretentious twit, I don't have the energy. Thanks, : )

Some that come to mind involve choice, autonomy, and the meaning (or lack therof) of history.I'm all for deconstruction, and conscious action, because that's how positive change occurs, over time.. a long long time.. :{
But when you're questioning and rejecting many of your own cultures comfortable assumptions, it can sure leave you in an emotional exile..
Or maybe that's depression too.Although I guess, compared to the likes of Copernicus, and Joan of Arc my pondering over a cup of coffee is downright cushy
