this is much of a continuation of the solitude thread, but I dont want to detract from the post's on that thread so here goes.
As someone who regards themself as a freethinker, the removal of civil liberties is something that makes me feel nervous. I've been feeling nervous a lot lately, the way the government is portraying the disabled and unemployed isn't sitting well. I saw this tonight and it makes me feel so angry: http://www.channel4.com/news/black-boxes-to-monitor-all-internet-and-phone-data
I like to read books that are controversial (even if I don't agree with thier sentiment). I'm into extremism, so at the moment Im thinking of buying Mein Kampf, and I like to read lot of right wing stuff. I hate the politics and philosophy's of these kind of books, but I do empathise that these people are social outcasts and not listened to (infact I relate to it). I also admire the passion poured into books by nut jobs. But the way things are getting monitored it just makes me uncomfortable purchasing stuff like this.
I've also been thinking of ways to make life more interesting and seeing what I can improve or acheive (beating myself up basically). So for some reason I fancy studying law/human rights laws/law relating to disability, I feel a empathy for marginalised folk. It's completely unachievable as I've already been to uni. I think it may just be a fantasy of sticking two fingers up at the world.
