Macs & Gays
I go to several clients most days and my world is generally one of corporate sensibility, serious haircuts, family photos, and PC safety. Lawyers, financial planners, construction people.
Yesterday I did some work for Steve, as I do occasionally. He lives in the world of Macs and gays, converted lofts, stark photos, minimal desks, edgy equipment, chrome & steel. Designers, galleries, ad agencies.
Those people are more interesting to be around and their workspaces make you sit back and look. Makes me think I should have gone the Mac route just like I should have veered Art/Left instead of Science/Right.

The results of the election are simply incomprehensible to about 50 million of us. I have rarely, if ever, voted for a winner in a national election. It is usually a short walk to an attitude that says 'Well maybe this guy won't be so bad.' But George W. Bush is a disaster beyond belief and the reality that he can be re-elected is stunning and frightening. It is no less than the beginning of the end of this country. I really believe that.
For people in our generation it represents a 180 degree turn from our days of empowerment. We learned then that a moral breach can be corrected if people take to the streets and make there voices heard through the political process. We ended a war that way. The results of this election tell us No, this can't be done. This war has the potential to be infinitely more dangerous than Vietnam. It's critical to have an intelligent leader who understands how to navigate the waters. Instead we have an idiot who reads nothing, always stays the course (no matter how disasterous) and is imbued with a sense of divine guidance. What could be scarier?I just don't know what to say except What is wrong with us?
