Arvin, the Author at Work

I don’t think we’re going to face Hurricane Sarah in 2012, but my opinion makes no difference.
Neither does yours.
I know that’s very anti-”social media,” but it’s a fact.
Not a single comment that anyone makes on anyone’s blog, nor any blog post itself, will make the slightest difference to what happens to our country between now and the presidential election of 2012.
Social media is bread and circuses, fed to the masses to distract them, while the guys and gals in power continue merrily on their ways.
Twitter is electronic masturbation. It might make you feel better temporarily, but onanism is not political action.
Blogging is a cop-out: cheap and easy.
If we want to save our country from the likes of Sarah Palin, we’ll have to take–peacefully–to the streets.
We’ll have to get off our asses and away from our keyboards and our cheap and easy snide remarks and actually do something.
Blog comments are dust in the wind.
Nobody cares what you think.
Few people care what I think, even though I’ve published twelve books.
But millions of Americans care what Sarah Palin thinks.
Is there anything we can do about that?
