Yes - yes, it is. I find it difficult to leave behind - difficult not to worry over. Impossible.
The paradigm on which most people in power here - most popular people, most people who seem to be well-regarded by those who knew them before they arrived - is alien to me. It posits the power of individual men and women to own things, to say things, to do things simply because they wish to, as some inherent good worth more than equity, or security, or common utility. I think that point of view is firmly baked into our power structures. I think such a method of organizing society always disadvantages those who have less, and have fewer opportunities to speak and act. I think placing the enacting of government in the hands of those citizens who already have the leisure and the sophistication to do so inevitably benefits the already leisurely and sophisticated class. You're right: everyone here is provided for. But that needn't always be the case. And men will always find ways to divide themselves into the privileged and the underprivileged, or into warring factions who make things worse for everyone around them.
I've been told I write too much. I expect it's a side effect of never having had to run for office. Apologies.
