I'm not someone who writes diaries often, and most of my rare diaries are of a personal nature. But I've never actually written a serious rant before, and it's hard for me to bare myself like this. It's as much a call for help as a rant. But the alternative is...pretty awful to contemplate.
The themes will be familiar to most anyone on this site. The 99% vs. the 1%, the utter lack of interest in scientific research in our larger society, austerity fever in the states, the Fiscal Cliff...it all collides in one lost soul.
