This morning's events have taught me that the natural human condition deems most, if not all, of man's political ideology nothing but a fairy-dust potful of wishful thinking.
If anything, blatant proof of the complete non-existence of a supposed cornerstone belief has been nothing less than a slap in the face for me.

Absence of plausible alternatives compells me to embrace the status quo with the patience of a saint, the generous vision breadth of an eagle, and arguably, the foolhardiness of an ass.

Evaluation of the validity of such vehemence is not within the perrogative of persons with presumably dismal or obsolete insight into the matter.
Ultimately, when exasperation results from the avalanche of recent substantiation of the disparity between effort and harvest- with either end of the spectrum being equally antagonising, what we have inevitably, is a lemon.
