Let The Cockroaches Rule. I'm still hopeful that there are more folk reading this who like to think outside the box and can offer their constructive thoughts to the world at large by joining the
Jakartass group writing project, co-sponsored by SBY.
Dilligaf of
Hardship Posting already has, although, a regular nag this, his site is updated far too infrequently for those of us who enjoy his musings.
Rob Baiton is
an independent voice offering
an independent perspective on the law, politics, culture, people, and life in Indonesia and elsewhere - Carpe Diem!He offers some very perceptive writings which are unfortunately very difficult to read. This site is almost psychedelic, with multi-coloured text on a black background, which is a shame because the opinions expressed are far from psychotic.
More relaxing is the
Milk Tea Girl who has two other blogs,
In Memorium and
Dismantled Possessions. She lives in south Jakarta and describes her interests as
breathing, photography, coffee, hanging out, relaxing in the sun, writing, contemplating, observing and conversing quietly, so all three blogs feature poems and short posts of fiction. Or is it all autobiographical? Anyway, I've given her a permanent link.
"Know your enemy" was probably said by a famous general, but it is a dictum to be understood by those who seek change, so I should've linked to
Indo Law Report a year or so ago, and not just because reciprocating is polite. It offers
reviews on legislations, regulations and policies affecting your business in Indonesia.
If there are so few of us prepared to challenge the status quo then this is an indication of atrophy and inevitable extinction.
So be it ~ let the cockroaches rule.
