comic relief is an important part of politics ; latest handy example being, the irony in how the leader of the Green Party ends her ramble down memory lane, back to the Democratic convention in Chicago, 1968.* Elizabeth May says \u201cI did get a lesson in democracy. \u2026 I learned that those with power can abuse their power. I learned that the only thing that ensures we live in a healthy democracy is constant vigilance\u201d. Of course we all agree with that noble pronouncement – in principle! – but woe to someone who actually practices it, then has the audacity to publish her conclusion<\/p>\n

After the president of the Green Party, Paul Estrin, used the Green Party website for siding with one faction in the conflict in old Palestine, Monika Shaefer – one of the founders of that Party – started thinking for herself and getting the facts about the foundational myth of the Israeli ethnic nation-state. That was bad enough, but – naif that she was – she expressed her opinion about what she’d learned!!. When the video of her epiphany went viral, Elizabeth May did her impression of Leslie Gore belting-out a tune from the same era = “it’s my Party! ” … and I’ll fly into a tizzy if I want to.<\/p>\n

Fade out to the sound of Elvis Costello singing : “I used to be disgusted. Now I just try to be amused”<\/p>\n
