Why are you so terribly disappointing?
Our disappointment begins to curdle, to turn back on itself, poison the heart, turn us nasty and low. It shifts from merely being a national mood or general temperament, into a way of being. A wiring, deep and harmful and permanent.
A good article quickly soured by a poor user experience (holy crap I’m making his point right now). I wanted to share this article with you and I wanted to share a quote. But they have some javascript business on their site that doesn’t allow me to copy a quote, it overwrites the copy with a description of the article and a link to their site. Of course I’m linking to your site, you bastards. That’s how blogging works. Your newspaper minds just can’t grasp the idea that we all share thoughts now, you can’t just talk at us and have us nod our heads.
