The Pendragon's Hall

The Pendragon grows weary of the whining of small-minded men. Hoping to get a break from the nastiness at the national level, I turned to the local level only to find people are just as stupid, maybe more so. Perhaps all governments should be monarchies. I am beginning to doubt the people of any nation on this planet have the necessary brains to govern themselves. The annoyance this time concerns a race for town council in a nearby town (names withheld to protect the stupid). Apparently a week or two before the election the citizens of this fair town awoke to find a letter in each mailbox purportedly from the challenging candidate, in which his entire career was cast into doubt by noting certain unsavory stances he had taken in the past. On election day, said candidate was narrowly defeated. Now the town is up in arms and screaming about how they would have voted for the other guy if they knew that negative letter wasn't really from him.

Maybe the New York City crowd is right and people in the country really are idiots. Let me tell a little story: Once a cat killed a bird. The people of the town seeing this all began to kill birds until all the birds were gone. Then they began to complain against the cat, saying, "The cat killed a bird and now all the birds are gone." Am I rambling? No! Politics is dirty. If a politician behaves like a politician and you follow along, you cannot blame the politician. Think for yourselves next time. You deserve everything you get.
