Conversation With A Young Man

"We, as an informed voting populace", does not exist. People have less education now than ever. They are a rabble. They speak and chew and vote viscerally, without any sense of decorum, or wisdom. Therefore, you must not be speaking to 'we the people', which leads me to wonder, who you are attempting to 'smarm'. Because people vote their drama, and emotion...the powers make a show, a circus for the people, while they control the masses and the vote, via a series of, so complex, vectors...no one, but a pit boss, or a pit viper, could untangle the Gordeon Knot. Elections are rigged. Don't you get it? That's why, we are all, feeling...left behind. We have been. I think you are a fine young man, bright and idealistic. I'm not sure you have had your first fall yet. I hope you believe in something besides politics, and the insulation of money. I suggest 'Siddhartha', by Herman Hesse. We die out here...we grow ill, and old. We are pitted and scored, and lonely. You may not be familiar with any of these things. Worst of all, is our disappointment, in the failure of the wise and highly placed, to perform, any lasting deed of help, that isn't 'talk'.
