Go softly into the night… for now, Vexed.

As most people now know,  VexedBermoothes.com written by anonymous blogger Caliban has decided just this day to go the route of Limey, ie, hanging up his/her spurs. As someone who writes on two different blogs now (but Fables is for the time being on hiatus – apparently I have to work sometime!) I do understand the time constraints of political commentary blogging in any real sense. However, this is not the main issue, time. He/she is, literally, doing a Limey from what I understood from his/her final (?) post.  And I totally understand that. It takes a helluva lot of energy in the current political and social climate in Bermuda to be a political blogger, no matter what “side” you are on. And thats’s a post in and of itself.

But for tonight’s purpose, Vexed, my good man/woman. Thank you for helping put a smile on me and many other’s faces with your commentary. Thanks for keeping your head in the game and helping to increase knowledge, even or perhaps because I didn’t agree with you at times. It’s up to us, the people, to ask for and hopefully thus receive the government we need. Which means, I guess that you have to care enough to speak up and/or blog.

Like Plato says  ” The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to be governed by lesser men.” If I expect a better government then it truly is up to me to demand it and make them accountable for their actions. Otherwise… I get what I deserve.
