when romanticism feels like an unaffordable luxury in mundane life?
Do people feel that way? I suppose they could, but I don't feel that way myself. I think it's more needed when I'm a little cranky! This seems to be supported at least by the popular media, who come out with an article about the sudden/surprise need for escapism every time there's a successful SF movie (ignoring that the exact same thing was said three years ago about the last happy SF movie.)
I wish the discussion could have been televised or something; I am unable to attend Council at present; John goes for Calligrapher's. Did y'all talk about the self-sorting that colleges do? Families that send their kids to big-names in Boston will tend to be more affluent, and those who have more money tend to be more conservative. This may mean that the student population leans a different political direction than those of us in the SCA overall, and especially here in BlueLand.
