It's not so much staying alive, it's staying human that's important. To the past, or to the future. To an age when thought is free.

A Different Light
My friend Rob has voted twice before, but this time around our local council managed to screw up his electoral role details (the very same happened to me in 2005). He made a very interesting statement on his profile page, which sums up my thoughts perfectly.
“I would like to vote. I think its important to have your say, but now I can’t I’ve started to look at it in a different light. There are a lot of people in the country who believe just because they vote, it gives them the right to expect the elected government to make everything alright for them in their own lives, rather than actually making any effort themselves to better their lives or make any changes.
There are too many lazy pessimistic moaning buggers in this country who use every opportunity to blame someone else for their lives being stagnant, debt-ridden and downright mediocre.”
