The Direction We're Headed

It's interesting to me to see how my taste in politics has developed over the years. It's run the gamut from unimportant mumbo-jumbo and outdated ritual to finally fixing itself as grease to the machine. Sure, you could argue: "This is smooth?" With our constant simian fears of sticks and stones smashing us to pieces... a perpetual power struggle to be top primate... smooth enough I say.

Intentional alliteration aside, politics is communication; a language unto itself. You'd think that after millenia of use there'd be perfection. However, truth in politics is like oil and water, and historical adages remain appropriate.

*rolls eyes* here we go again. CUT. more exasperated this time...with feeling...go!

It's hard to really muster anything real. We're just too inundated and desensitized (which may be the plan.)

Honestly, I think we've been cowed; bred to consume and produce, pastured if we're lucky. Huddled together, all facing the same direction, narrowly aware of our surroundings and the lingering fear of inevitability.

Anybody for a stampede?
