"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Abandon reason, all ye who enter here. Yet another political encounter at the trash.

Jim, an excellent one, duly shared widely on social media. Just in time for VT Town Meeting Day. :-) Upon reading the intro, I instantly recalled your prior STR piece with a similar theme...though upon pursuing the link, was stunned to see I'd first read it 11 years ago.
Good news: My recall skills seem to be crackerjack. Bad news: I also seem to be suffering from mid-life time dilation.
:-)
Thanks, Alex! My, so it is; nearly 11 years. How time flies, when you're having fun.
That one (Primary Day in the Trash) features in STR's non-voting archive, but there is a large collection of other, splendid articles there. It's an excellent resource.
