i don't live in europe. i live in a small country in south america. i don't |
| 17 |
read the press and i don't have tv. i'm mostly uncontaminated by the |
| 18 |
debris produced by journalism. |

today i asked my girlfriend if she had also noted that the internet has |
| 21 |
been very slow for the last week or so. perhaps it was a problem with my |
| 22 |
connection. it was she who told me that the problem with the internet had |
| 23 |
been mentioned in the news (unlike me, she does watch tv and read the |
| 24 |
news). |

i'm glad for all the people who weren't affected. but whatever it was, i've |
| 27 |
been suffering the consequences. so i'm more than irritated by the |
| 28 |
assholes minimizing the problem, or treating this as "non-news". |
