Is there any such thing? Let's investigate—for good or ill. A blog about fiction and literature, philosophy and theology, politics and law, science and culture, the environment and economics, and ethics and language, and any thing else that strikes our fancy. (Apologies to Bertrand Russell)

Cynical?
Let's take stock for a moment:
1. Plutocrat$ determine which politicians are allowed to rise to candidacy
2. Demagogues tend to win elections
Is that an accurate assessment of the current state of our politics? Too cynical? Not cynical enough? If so, where does that leave us? Is there any hope? Has anybody seen an honest man (or woman) around these parts?
