'We don't need progress. At least not the popular definition as the bulk of us know it'

摘要

PROGRESS, I've decided, is overrated. Oh sure, if you're firmly in the hole, living under a military dictatorship in a hollowed-out ball of mud and tomorrow's breakfast is about as likely as a North Korean political cartoonist, then yep, progress probably ain't a bad idea. But if, like most Australians, for whom breakfast is not only a dead cert but will also contain your entire sugar allowance for the next 12 months, politics is about dickheads, not dictators, and progress is not only overrated, but a waste of time.
