Rain on my Parade

I think it's time to really stop depending on other people. Thanks to the power of self-interest, you can't expect anyone to follow you, to go against the grain by your side. Each and every individual is isolated, persuing his or her own goals, dreams, objectives. Survival demands it. Survival requires it.

Rain washed out the 122nd Founder's Day parade today. Except that the Guest of Honour was over half an hour late, in the rain, which meant that the UYO squads had to freeze in the rain. And there was no wet-weather contingency, no Plan-B, nothing. Freeze in the rain, get a cold, all for some stupid ceremony. Tradition, ceremony, professionalism; all more important than the health and welfare of the individual.

I should have kept standing in the rain. Fight for what's right.

Viva la revolution.
