I keep forgetting to post...

I guess sometimes I feel I'm posting into a void.

I'm back from America and I can tell you it was a shock to come from summer there to winter here.

I'm doing a theme study for English on utopia and dystopia; I've just read Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed.  I found it fascinating albeit quite slow-moving.  But the sheer number of ideas... wow.
I did find it interesting that a lot of the questions that the hero gets asked about living in his anarchic society are very similar to questions I often get asked about attending a Montessori high school.

Like 'How does it work?' :D

And 'How come people don't just do nothing all day?' and 'Why don't people just do the bare minimum and then laze around?'

Is it really so hard for people to grasp that people can be motivated without anything hanging over their heads? Perhaps a good thing to point to would be volunteers and how they're not forced into it but do it on their own. *shakes head*
