Perhaps you have heard the news that fellow blogger Peter Freyne is hanging up his column writing in Seven Days. I can't say that I'm surprised. He had not looked particularly motivated in recent times.
I wish him luck in licking the depression thing, for which I have great sympathy. I also think it's great for him to come right out and say that's what's up because it is not something one should hide in shame. We all know, too, that it is not easy to stay motivated over many decades through all the changes that life brings.
Peter's heyday was before my time in the political fray here, so I will leave talk about that to others, but I will say that generally speaking the world is better off with more, not fewer, people focusing on the people's business.
