Despite appearances, I'm not some kind of activist. I may write about controversial issues like Sino-American relations and the suppression of democracy in Romania, but I don’t protest in the streets and I most certainly don’t want to lead the next revolution. Romania can’t be changed overnight and it certainly can’t be changed by a few blogger writing away in the back-rooms. So I’m not even going to try to change it, only to write about it.
Other than this, I’m a fully-fledged member of Generation X and cynic living in a world that swings between unbelievable naivety and utter paranoia. If it is a fashion then I don’t want to follow it, and if it is a trend then you can be sure that it won’t represent me.
