“Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.”

We have executive agencies, legislative bodies, judicial courts, impregnable forts, appeal and retrial, motion denial, filibuster, full of bluster, stifling bureaucracy, where is the democracy?

Politicians take center stage, the media fraught with rage

twitter barrage, fairness a mirage, libel, label, capitalist, socialist, special interest lobbyist, corruption, obstruction, impeachment fights, network delights, deflection, misdirection, it’s all about the election, quid pro quo, long live the status quo

red tape, white noise, blue laws, purple haze.

The divided state
The pursuit of happiness
of America.
