Democracy Revised

What can we do when one person's 'gridlock'
becomes somebody else's 'accountability'?

When both behave like witnesses to an accident
and both have highly partial views
with wildly different accounts of how,
when, and where the democratic accident started?

However much they agree or disagree
the debate will make 'democracy' go on for longer....

On The Failure Index

The more we try to make assets of ourselves
with people who we hope will esteem us
the deeper we trap ourselves in debt.
