The Fold-In seems to have tanked lately, along with everything else I'm supposed to be doing. I've let my schoolwork slide, which is Not So Good seeing as I'm supposed to be salvaging my reputation as a student to my family and to myself. I just can't get a few things out of my mind at the moment, the emotionally loaded (and probably staged, hopefully staged) images of Taliban child soldiers brandishing Kalashnikovs while they wait for the US led coalition to arrive.
Nearly 400 dead would-be Australians isn't helping my state of mind either. For me, the benefits of an open doors migration policy far outweigh the disadvantages; all this hullabaloo about security and job-taking only serve to expose the financial and political neglect with which our intelligence community has been treated over the years.
Don't let my political venting dissuade you from folding a crane or two: they don't care what you think, as long as they get folded! (^_^)
It's occurred to me that what I've done so far, with the help of others, has been a good start, and can either cruise along at its current energy and momentum or be pumped up into a larger campaign.
That's one of the thoughts I had originally, that this might somehow grow into a syndicated, replicated movement. There's certainly enough spare/scrap office paper floating around, and I always thought origami makes a good alternative to smoking ...
Anyway, so far there's about 300 cranes' worth, between the two strings hanging up in the Flinders St subway area and in the kitchen at home. Relax, they'll soon all be at Flinders St! Not bad for two days' worth of Fold-In.
