I just think it’s really sad that the typical working person (or even unemployed person) believe that Reform will be the answer to all their concerns. The role of the wizard in Wicked is such an accurate analogy.

I was on the registration desk for most of the conference, and a scary number of people said that this was likely to be their last ViCEPHEC. Shrinking departments, closing departments, and removal of conference/travel funds all mentioned multiple times. A brilliant community in a terrible shadow.

We should never underestimate the value of the creative arts. Without this drama (ie. Art) nobody was taking enough notice of this problem. It was the same with the post office scandal. Art is more powerful than any news or policy paper.
