Under normal circumstances, humans should have continued to evolve as the greatest creatures upon this earth, but we were actually regressing. A rotten world. Politics, law, education… Was there anybody around who could correct this world? But someone had to do it.
There have been way too few posts on the French election. Come on, tumblr. Get it together. From the BBC:
Mr. Hollande - the first Socialist to win the French presidency since Francois Mitterrand in the 1980s - gave his victory speech in his stronghold of Tulle in central France…
He said he would push ahead with his pledge to refocus EU fiscal efforts from austerity to “growth”.
“Europe is watching us, austerity can no longer be the only option,” he said.
But one of the most interesting parts of this article, at least from a historical standpoint, is this fun fact at the end:
It is only the second time that an incumbent French president has failed to win re-election since the start of the Fifth Republic in 1958.
The last was Valery Giscard d’Estaing, who lost to Mr Mitterrand in 1981.
What does this mean in relation to socialism’s place in modern politics? Has it been reduced to a reactionary political philosophy, or does it still have a role in mainstream politics?
Just something to think about.

I pray for Europe now…
I found this man on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. He was leaning heavily on his cane, looking down, wearing a grimaced face. I felt bad for him, so I smiled and waved when I walked past. His face changed completely. He lit up, smiled wide, and gave me a cheery greeting. There was nothing forced about it. He seemed like a man who went through life looking for the smallest excuses to be happy.
I walked 50 feet down the sidewalk, turned around, and walked back to him. “I want to take your photo,” I told him, “because of how big you smiled when I walked by.”
He said: “Well I saw someone smiling at me who I didn’t even know. So I thought: ‘By God! I Better do something!’”Love everything about this
