Definitely faster today. Cleaner angles too. Had to pull two or three apart to fix fuck ups, but that’s hardly novel. FPP is growing on me. Still debating half-row at 1.5 – will have to wait and see. Tomorrow. Sewing tired is courting disaster. Much like the seven complicit fuckwads that voted against their own constituents. Again.
As war is the system of Government on the old constructions, the animosity which Nations reciprocally entertain, is nothing more than what the policy of their Governments excite, to keep up the spirit of the system. Each Government accuses the other of perfidy, intrigue, and ambition, as a means of heating the imagination of their respective Nations, and incensing them to hostilities. Man is not the enemy of man, but through the medium of a false system of Government. Instead, therefore, of exclaiming against the ambition of Kings, the exclamation should be directed against the principle of such Governments; and instead of seeking to reform the individual, the wisdom of a Nation should apply itself to reform the system.
~Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, Part One, 1791.
