My favorite comic strip is called “Pearls before Swine.” I read it in my local newspaper every day. It’s wisdom shared by animal characters.
One asks: “I’m trying to decide who I should vote for to become the leader of the free world.” Another answers: “You have two choices. Only two.” The response? “Where has all the democracy gone?”
So we live in an open society made up over 340 million people, with extremely bright and knowledgeable people in any number professions, and we’re stuck with two choices.
