We are Americans







Yesterday in this space I suggested that the Democrats could easily recapture the Presidency by irresponsibly bribing us. Since we are us I'm not so sure it's a bad idea, like, "let's walk across town and have a drink!" The drink might not be good for us, but surely the walk is. And then what if the drink really is good for us after all! Opinions vary on this second point. And who wouldn't be happy with a 50 to 100 percent success rate?

Here's the thing:

Republicans think they're smarter than everyone so they try to trick everyone into doing whatever nasty things they want.

Democrats think they're smarter than everyone but feel bad about it so try to reason everyone into doing what they think is best.

But I think in America, in the end we all just want to be tricked into doing the right thing.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
