Foreswearing comics and other less-than-optimal uses of time
Sat, 2007/04/28 - 7:54am — Benjamin Melançon
So I posted a whole mess of thoughts on violence and nonviolence, naturally enough under the title Book review review.
I have to stop spending hours on stuff like that, and on reading Internet news, but to start I will foreswear my precious online comics until they come in one-page form.
- Candorville (this will be hard)
- Minimum Security (support the one radical comic on comics.com!)
- Pearls Before Swine
- Monty
- Liberty Meadows
- Non Sequitor (actually, haven't been getting this one on-line)
- Get Fuzzy
And Ted Rall, Tom Tommorow, and whatnot that I visit elsewhere. No more. No more reading commentary. And less writing of it.

I'm trying to make possible a worldwide nonviolent revolution for justice, liberty, and making more good things doable.

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.
