What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth.
It was always disappointing to see that what I could really master in terms of form boiled down to so little.
The turning point for me was when the Supreme Court installed Bush in 2000, even though he got half a million votes less nationally than Gore. It was nothing more than a bloodless coup and that's when I really started paying attention.
