"Welcome to Harmonistan! Over the last decade, the term “participation” 
has become increasingly overused. When everyone has been turned into a 
participant, the often uncritical, innocent, and romantic use of the 
term has become frightening. Supported by a repeatedly nostalgic veneer 
of worthiness, phony solidarity, and political correctness, 
participation has become the default of politicians withdrawing from 
responsibility."
