Ken MacLeod's comments.
The title comes from two quotes:
“Work as if you lived in the early days of a better nation.”—Alasdair Gray.
“If these are the early days of a better nation, there must be hope, and a hope of peace is as good as any, and far better than a hollow hoarding greed or the dry lies of an aweless god.”—Graydon Saunders

Happy New Year!
Here's to 2010, with a quote I posted five years ago and which still seems good today:
'We are cast upon the future without reluctance and even without regret, as finding there the substance of desire.'
No doubt to see the world new made and all the men and women made new in it. But then where are the old, familiar things, the faces that we know?
ReplyDeleteI don't see the quote as implying that, and I certainly don't think that way myself.
