But I do think that Carlin speaks clearly to us still. We’ve all had that fear, at least a flash of doubt. Maybe they don’t care. Maybe we, the voters, aren’t a representation of popular will to be help steer the nation. Maybe we’re just a calculation in some rigged game. Is the table tilted?
Well, I certainly hope not. But it’s almost cliche to call out a politician for contradicting himself or even flat out lying. People make a great living of it. I’m looking at you, Jon Stewart.
