Comments

[(Anonymous)]

I was going to write a nice comment about how everyone is allowed to and should have hobbies/recreations, and the more stressful your job is the more important down-time from it becomes. But then I reread your secret and realised how dismissive you were of the jobs and education levels of your fellow fans.

'Oh, she's just a teacher and doesn't even have a Masters, he just works at Wal-Mart and couldn't afford a college education even if he wanted one, *that's* why they're in fandom, because the rest of their lives are inconsequential."

If, as you imply, your job is going to put you in a position to 'change the world' through politics, then maybe you might want to work on developing empathy for and an understanding of the diversity of your possible future constituents. A good place to practice might be with a community your part of, like, say, fandom.

I agree with this pretty much 100%.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't like the idea that only people with certain jobs/positions can "change the world". Especially when teachers are on the side of the equation that doesn't include world-changers, because that is just nonsense.

[truxillogical]

Oof, I don't know how that little implication passed me by, but as a staunch Bruce Coville fan...yeah. That's a pretty awful thing to say. Teachers shape the friggen future, for pity's sake.

[(Anonymous)]

As the poster of the above comment I want to say that that bit really pissed me off as well, but I was strapped for time when I originally wrote my comment. As someone who is about to get their teaching qualification, and specifically chose to be a teacher so I could (hopefully) change young lives for the better, the follow-through implication that teachers can shrug off their jobs' responsibilities for fandom because they're *just* a teacher is insulting beyond belief. (And that goes for any profession that doesn't reach OP's requirements for 'world-changing'.)

(Also, that was supposed to be *you're in the last sentence of my original comment. Oops.)
