The Graceful Flavor is back!

I've enjoyed Jeff's reasoned (and provocative) opinions on technology and politics in the past.  I'm happy he's back.

Thanks to Andrés Segovia and a few other strangely loyal GF fans, I realized that I should start writing GF again. I personally want to think Andrés for being so persistent; had he not, I might be still arguing with people on Facebook instead of writing here. So, Andrés, thanks a ton, you magnificent pain in the ass. ~ Jeff Ventura

Robert Reich (The Perfect Storm)

The perfect storm: An unprecedented concentration of income and wealth at the top; a record amount of secret money flooding our democracy; and a public becoming increasingly angry and cynical about a government that’s raising its taxes, reducing its services, and unable to get it back to work.

I'm certainly starting to feel hopeless — and powerless — about my future. Or maybe Robert's writings are just stoking my fear.
