Waiting on the world to change

Jack Bauer has finally let me go. For now.

Season 5 is also on DVD (Fox does well with getting the dvd of the previous season out in time to catch up with the next season. Normally, the seasons do not have a big arc in between, but this one had an interesting thread.

Towards the end of this season (which I will be vague about in case you plan on giving that much time to dvd), I was getting tired of the faux president. It reminded me that there is a night and day difference between being cocky and being confident. We are so used to seeing the former that we don't recognize the latter.

In the idealist world located only in my mind, so much of the violence happening in the world could be prevented by good foreign policy. But people will never stop wanting power, money and the freedom to be good or evil, so danger will continue to exist.

And I suppose for my tiny part, all I can do is be more intentional.

Granted, it is just a tv show.

(Song: John Mayer. I do love this song. I just wonder how someone who can think this deeply can also date someone so seemingly dumb. Irony is alive and well...)
