Inefficent lighting saved The Hardcore Effect

For sometime now, we've been considering the future of the blog.

All of us are busy chaps these days, and the recent and prolonged security issues didn't help, then there was concern that we actually had nothing left to say. This infact maybe true, its possible we will never publish another politically charged statement again, we have after all made our point.

However, something rather odd changed what we assumed to be the inevitable outcome.

People love to complain, about anything, no matter how trivial and pointless. The people who set to work on us, in truth, only really upset people and organisations we don't know or deal with.

You see, a few times a year, the town I reside in hosts a series of events and festivals. In the open area to the side of my apartment, there has been on occasion some incredibly powerful lighting erected. Something of an annoyance I'm sure you'll agree. I could and maybe should complain.

Yet, being someone with a brain, I realise that its very difficult to hold a cheese tasting or a flower arranging session in the dark, and so I like to hang some pieces of material over my windows to solve this, I like to call them "The Curtains" and they are fantastic.

This turned into something of a metaphor. You see the people we upset, who in turn upset a series of other people, could simply have closed their curtains. We don't force you to read something you disagree with, if it really upsets you that much.. maybe put the TV on eh?

Of course, everyone should read things they disagree with, you could be missing a trick and if little else it helps you keep an open mind and a balanced view.

So, we'll give it one last crack of the whip. Third time lucky eh?
