disclaimer

i have decided that this will never be a political blog, so-to-speak. of course politics and power are everywhere, and i cannot imagine speaking from an apolitical position ever. on anything. i admire people who can speak knowledgably about politics and the current state of affairs. they are the ones who should be doing it, who need to be. i am not one of those people, so i'll leave it to those who know what they're doing. with respect and gratitude for their contributions.
