Sirens have as an extremely good point, the intelectualising is all very well but it appeals to none of the electorate.
Appealing to the electorate means failure
Where have reactionaries ever been successful?
The idea of appealing to an electorate is the problem in itself
to us at least
this is our reality, we are not starting from a clean sheet, democracy is the framework we are working within
Didnt everyone in that picture end up Unsuccessful in the end?
How many of them are remembered fondly
The conservatives are fools: They whine about the
decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth.
Elections are only a small part of the power structures
winning elections means nothing if the other power structures are untouched
The cathedral is the larger structure that pretends that the election is the main stage
I dont like Douglas Adams
but his point on the President is "The purpose of the President is to draw attention away from power"
Banksy!
We have lost more of what we know about art than we will ever gain
The Spirit broke into laughter. "Don't you see you'll never paint at all if that's what you're thinking
about?" he said.
"What do you mean?" asked the Ghost.
"Why, if you are interested in the country only for the sake of painting it, you'll never learn to see
the country."
"But that's just how a real artist is interested in the country."
"No. You're forgetting," said the Spirit. "That was not how you began. Light itself was your first
love: you loved paint only as a means of telling about light."
"Oh, that's ages ago," said the Ghost. "One grows out of that. Of course, you haven't seen my later
works. One becomes more and more interested in paint for its own sake."
"One does, indeed. I also have had to recover from that. It was all a snare. Ink and catgut and paint
were necessary down there, but they are also dangerous stimulants. Every poet and musician and
artist, but for Grace, is drawn away from love of the thing he tells, to love of the telling till, down in
Deep Hell, they cannot be interested in God at all but only in what they say about Him. For it
doesn't stop at being interested in paint, you know. They sink lower-become interested in their own
personalities and then in nothing but their own reputations."
"I don't think I'm much troubled in that way," said the Ghost stiffly.
"That's excellent," said the Spirit. "Not many of us had quite got over it when we first arrived. But
if there is any of that inflammation left it will be cured when you come to the fountain."
