The pied pipers play their tunes.

Too many Americans are stupid or ill-informed. Especially about politics. They don't understand the issues. They really don't know what's going on. But still, hordes of these same people will trek to the polls on Nov. 6. And vote. Willy-nilly. Against their best interests. Because they don't know any better, Of course, it would be best if they stayed at home. And didn't vote. But that's perceived as being unAmerican. In reality, it's very American. Typical American. Goes to show that there's a glaring weakness in so-called American democracy. Everybody has a right to vote. When they shouldn't. But it won't ever change. Because well-heeled, conniving, lying politicians want to keep it so they can influence the ignorant. With asinine sound bites. And so the pied pipers play their tunes. And lure the gullible and ignorant to the polls. --Jim Broede
