i'm wearin' dental dams on me eyeballs

Here's the truth of politics...

It's a big stick.

It's a psycho-assault.

It's reducing 'one' to piece and part of 'many'.

Politics is the grindstone that makes feedstock of you and me and him and her.

It's friggin' tyranny dressed up in fine clothes.

Well duh, E pluribus unum dude.
Out of many, one.
That's been the idea from the get go.

It's what attracts the many who discover they can easily manipulate others. Then want a bigger sandbox.

What? To not smile?

When a politician is smiling, does that mean he is unAmerican? Because he got what he wanted? Should you trust a smiling politician?

non serviam. That's Latin. Should we trust a smiling Italian politician - who served whom? Most Italians trusted an always smiling Berlusconi. Should Americans?
