I am not letting myself believe in the change that’s about to happen. I keep thinking something’s going to screw it up – somebody’s going to get wasted, somebody’s going to fold, somehow this will not work out. It is almost impossible to conceive of the difference that may occur in our society. I’ve already gotten used to the fact that there’s no money for the arts or education, that there’s no point in applying for government funding for anything, that the universities have to beg for funding, that professors have to go around the world to find work and struggle to maintain their level of research. I’ve gotten used to living in a country that recognizes only religious marriages and divorces. Is it possible that things might change? Don’t count on it…
