Seems to me you're asking about what can be said, what new, inventive, and fresh can be said by you, and that's the usual question people ask. But maybe it's the wrong question entirely. Maybe you should be asking, what can I do, what should I be doing, and then talking about that, once you've decided. The difference is between being mere observer wanting to be interesting, and being an active agent regardless of whether anyone else is interested, simply living in hope someone may be.

History is made by those who turn up. Another simple quote that means a lot. So if you 'turn up' and write or 'turn up' to physically attempt to change the Discourse, just keep turning up! The distractions (Bejeweled etc) are there to distract you. Don't fall into their trap. Use them judiciously. Otherwise the reactionaries who are never distracted or diverted from their causes, will win. Then we all lose. Think about the Parable of the Talents. You have a talent. Use it. For good. Evil wins when good gives up the ghost.
