I want to put my head down and weep, but I run out of tears sometime ago. I believe my beloved country suffered a fatal wound on 12 December 2000 and yesterday it may have died from it. I wish I could say things will get better, but I'm not sure anymore. The landscape looks very dark right now.

Of course, I will continue to do what I can - what is the alternative?, I'm too old and too poor to start over - and I won't have it said that I stood by and did nothing. I owe that to myself, all the people who came before me who fought for and defended our ideals and to those who will come after us.

I do know over the past six years I've developed sympathy and, perhaps, understanding for the ordinary, decent Germans of the 1930's. What can one do against the deliberate, malevolent, powerful assault on fundamental human rights and decency? I'm not sure, but at least we can rage against the dying of the light.

Oh yeah, for the Agent Smith who may be reading this - fuck you. Your mother would be so ashamed of you.
