WHITE NOISE

Joe Bakewell.


WHITE NOISE:

Early in the 20th Century, there was a silent film series entitled ‘The Perils of Pauline’ wherein Pauline was placed in mortal danger by the bad guys (wearing black hats). At the last possible second, the good guys, (white hats) showed up to save her.

We have a similar scenario in DC today. Donald is caught in an impeachment trap being set by the white hats while the ‘red hats’ seek to save him. Sooner or later (mostly later), we’ll see the last chapter.

I should live so long.

Meanwhile the nation is enthralled, salivating for the next gotcha revelation, while waiting for ‘their’ party to take over and wipe out the problems taking us ever closer to some form of reckoning.

Has there ever been a time of greater need for true democracy?

Meanwhile, I’ll remind you. You will vote for the candidates of the same party you voted for last time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know—your party will root out the corruption that swiped our democracy years ago. 

P. S. I’ve ordered a copy of ‘They Don’t Represent Us’ by Lawrence Lessig.
