Reactivating

I have been busy. There are myriad reasons why I have not kept up with overtly political writing. Naturally they are all bunk.

Can there be any reasonable excuse for pulling back our political activity (even on the minor scale I engage in)?
Does the personal being the political offer an out?

I don't think so. I think (and I'm probably qualified to say it) I have disengaged out of frustration. I'd like to stop compounding my errors.
