The arts are barbaric. The favorite poetry? The Epic. The popular dramatic ideal? Heroism. Dances? Wildly abandoned. It makes me feel the lack of that which they have taken from me. What did they take from me? The right to participate in history.

I just realized it's been months since I've been genuinly interested in any ESR content. I'm going to take it like a man: rather than whining about it or trying to improve the situation, I hereby announce my permanent departure. No need to comment --- i know i will be deeply missed :]

Good-bye.
