There's gotta be a better way...

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I often find myself reading the papers and thinking "Why is this so bad? Surely there's gotta be a better way to do this!" This could be on anything from the environment to urban design to international affairs. The idea is that this is a place where we can talk about "better ways" to do things. It's deliberately naive: often the response you get when suggesting ideas for changing things is rolled eyes, or an accusation that you are "idealistic" or naive. I want to hear the idealists! And I kind of am one. And I write too many letters to newspapers, and thought I should just have my own blog, so here it is.
