Like the universal driving experience of turning left against traffic, we are often
faced with weird difficulties which arise when we are forced against the flow.

Latest Entry from 08-April:
“In the rollicking free market, hyper-industrialized madness
of modern First World life, we are mostly free from oppression.
Whereas our ancestors fought dysentery, we struggle to find
time to hit the gym. Whereas our forefathers overthrew cruel
and inhuman masters, we respond to unpleasantries by scouring
the web and switching jobs. Our leaders may be foolish or
domineering, but we recycle them at the ballot box every few
years. The only yoke that remains is the one we cannot
help but create: the tyranny of the niche.”
