Hoder plans to head back to Iran next week.

  1. He’s a brave man and lucky enough to be able to even consider going back.

    I don’t know if in a few more years I’d even feel the need to go back, I hardly remember anything and I don’t feel like I’d belong there… Not that I feel like I belong here either.

    Sucky politics.

  2. The Time Magazine here has a great article about Iran today. How the mullahs basically bought the new generation by loosening control on lifestyles. The younger generation enjoy the clubbing scene and are not interested in politics. Who needs free speech when you can get wasted and party hard?

    Its basically what is happening in China (and something Stephenson talked about in one of his articles). People are drinking the economic kool-aid and could care less that to the Chinese govt, they are expendable.

    Yeah, I will try to send you a scanned pdf of the article.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
