A Foreign Affair

I'm at the Department of Foreign Affairs having my passport renewed. And I cannot help but be frustrated.

Is this the future I want for my kids? Really?

I read somewhere that the DFA processes 7000 passports a day. And they're proud of that fact?
Looking at it from another angle, I bet everyone's trying hard to make it work.

But the question is, how can we fix ourselves? And do we even want to?
