i'm inclined the opposite way--i keep much closer track of international and national level politics than i do local politics. but that follows from what i'm interested in intellectually, really. in questions that get me in a more militant frame of mind, that reverses--organizing makes politics local, theory makes it bigger. the two are a loop.
at the moment, i live in a ridiculous little eastern massachusetts town on the ocean. i don't really know anyone, and in a place like this politics is mostly patronage so is mostly network-based. i spend alot of time thinking about microphones and the marsh and how to introduce them to each other, so i think that makes me a distracted fellow.
