I am a bit of a lefty on some issues.

According to the papers, I'm miserable, alienated, and on the brink of resignation. But that's simply not where I am.

I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

I am going to confront the old-fashioned negative thinking which says that all government needs to do to generate growth is cut worker and environmental protections, cut taxes on the rich and stroke 'fat cats' until they purr with pleasure. I'm completely repudiating the idea that government has to get out of the way.

I am a bit of a daydreamer.

I am responsible for me. I can kind of take care of what I need to do and should do what I like to do.
