- I’m tired of people in power laughing and joking over capping benefits for the poor, sneering at them as “shirkers” or “skivers” in contrast to “strivers”…
- I’m tired of the wealthy bleating about losing child benefit, and fuel tax hikes that will make their gas-guzzling 4×4’s marginally more expensive to fill up…
- I’m tired of an economic system that is based on greed and dissatisfaction… conspicuous consumption that is destroying the planet, impoverishing more and more people (while a few get richer), and causing profound depression among those who are never content…
- I’m tired of a Christian sub-set of that system that has bought into it uncritically, and constantly seeks to sell me the next big spiritual breakthrough in a book/programme/speaker/event…
I know just what he means.

Not too tired to be REALLY pissed off as well, I trust.
But yes (with Mrs. Virtual Methodist): “Winter under cultivation / Is as arable as Spring” (Emily Dickinson).

That’s the danger, isn’t it — you get so tired, you neglect to get angry.

Oh don’t worry… I do plenty of angry too… and more to the point try to do something with the anger other than let it bore a hole in my stomach!

I think we got that, David!
