Well, maybe---

Democracy is not a sport, but some people just prefer to be spectators and, in a democracy, that should be OK. Just because they don't participate doesn't mean they should get screwed.

Not to mention that a lot of effort has been expended on making people into spectator/consumers. A spectator is really a consumer who just uses things by looking. Which is actually preferable to consuming by destroying.

I've long had an argument with that "conspicuous consumption" fellow because I happen to think that consuming by looking along with everyone else is much preferable to destroying something in private.

Ah yes, (I had to look him up), Thorstein Veblen's theory of the leisure class. He perpetuated two errors: that leisure is the same thing as lazy and that there's no value added by those who tell others how to manage. Leisure actually refers to people doing their own thing--i.e. not under someone else's direction. That is the opposite of working, which is taking orders. Because being given orders tends to generate resistance (especially if they're stupid orders), the onus was placed on people doing their own thing and taking orders was declared a virtue, regardless of whether they make any sense.
(Some people define that as the process being more important than the product--I happen to think there's a gender variant there).

Anyway, since there's no html allowed on the link blogs, images aren't possible. What I've suggested is that they set it up so that images are stored in the photos pages and people can link to those instead of only to their own hard-drives. At present, every time I change a photo to go along with a calendar posting or on the main page, I have to upload a new image instead of just using one from the photo file. That strikes me as inefficient.

And, yes, bugs keep popping up.
