The Barbershop in Oz

New location, new ramblings. Have been too busy and uninspired to just sitdown and write things down. Having adjusted to the new base and having some free time, I guess it is time to get back to writing.

Watch out for the refurbished Barbershop!!!

A Message from the Past

I stumbled upon the following from Vaclav Havel's open letter to Gustav Husak (circa 1976 I think, refresh your Czechoslovakian histroy for a backgrounder).

"So far," Havel scolded Husak, "you and your government have chosen the easy way out for yourselves, and the most dangerous road for society: the path of inner decay for the sake of outward appearances; of deadening life for the sake of increasing uniformity; of deepening the spiritual and moral crisis of our society, and ceaselessly degrading human dignity, for the puny sake of protecting your own power."

Seems incredibly appropriate to give to the Arroyo administration. Also appropriate to show to people who have become numb to the situation that we are all in.

Welcome to the Barbershop!!!

Test message to see how this thing works. Welcome folks and I hope you enjoy the stories told in this place! Remember, not everything said here is real!!!
