Isn't politics as such - the entire spectrum - a distraction from coming
to terms with those who hold the wealth and power? To keep the illusion
of dynamics - of movement, democracy as it were - the balance shifts a

their crowds. And so the story goes. Aren't we fools to engage with and
"believe" that the circus of politics is anything other than just that,
a circus?
