I'd rather direct it at myself than others, as at least I know I can handle it. Either way, I don't in any way identify myself with England's actions, though I know I'm complicit just by sheer proximity and the comfortable fug of complaisant ignorance which hangs over our lifestyles- the outside world is all chaos and ugliness, but at home by the hearth is nothing but warmth and love and just enough fear to keep me a productive member of society.
