You Are What You Write

I'm looking around for stories to write, but most of what I'm noticing is pretty grouchy. The past couple of days I don't see much besides indifference and stupidity and petty bureaucrats holding their entrenchments. I see general trends pushing such things and I'm sort of panicked for the kids.

But the old Jewish story about people in your new village being the same as the people in your last is true. I'm worried about the world, but I'm a little more worried that I'm seeing so much to worry about.
