More odd thoughts; Thomas Jefferson dreamed of the ‘yeoman farmer’ as being the perfect citizen of this new country. It’s just one more idea/dream/philosophy where I have to disagree with Jefferson. Unfortunately, that ‘yeoman’ exists today in the minds of the ill-informed citizens of our country and in the rhetoric of the politicians that wish to use them. And use them they do.
So why am I ‘citizen bashing’ today? Because of the headlines? Corn flakes? Because they deserve it? Probably. And as a confirmed cynic, I have to. By the way, being a cynic is not a bad thing at all. It’s the only way you can learn everything you need to know about any given subject. Those who decry cynicism are those who oppose thought.
