teetering tacos
i am a taco shaped teeter totter. when i walk i pick up one foot. swing it forward. crash it to the ground. stand on it. pick up the other foot. swing it forward. repeat. our two party government is also a taco shaped teeter totter. the balance between the two parties is a knife edge. first we swing one way. and do all the stupid shit the jackass party wants to do. and a few good things that take us in the right direction. then they crash. and the party of illuminated idiots takes over. they get their turn fucking things up. and manage to do a few good things by fortuitous accident. before they too crash. and the taco teeters t' otter. the cool thing about a democratically elected government is we can take a step every decade or so. as opposed to say a dictatorship. where it can take most of a lifetime to take a single step. enjoy your walk.
