The Sound of the Crowd

I’m in a really bad mood today, and I don’t know why

I mean, nothing particuarly bad has happened to me today. My life is no worse than it was yesterday. Also no better, but you know what I’m saying. And yeah, it’s a depressing day for news, but I’ve had those before.

Yet I am in a terrible, awful, evil, horrible mood. How bad? Well I just yelled at my cat, and she wasn’t doing anything except meowling because she thinks there isn’t any food in her dish (there is). But cats do that all the time.

Why do I feel so awful?

Might be a tip-off in the linked section of this quote:

“The demand that someone answer for what is going on in Guantanamo seems to have fallen, by default, to a few legal specialists. Do Americans think justice is prevailing? Or are they just tired of fighting what looks to be a losing battle? The danger is that we become inured to the doings of an administration that flouts the law as a matter of routine: Guantanamo becomes just another incident. We first heard about it three years ago, but here it is again. The media has dubbed Iraq the new Vietnam. Here we are again. But just because we’ve seen these things before, or think we’ve seen these things before doesn’t mean they don’t require as emphatic and vigilant a response.”
