Election years are like flu season. Try as you might to avoid that sick feeling, sooner or later the rhetoric and bombast, the foolishness and outrage kick you in the gut, and you may find yourself dreaming of a simpler life – perhaps a better world, where happiness and satisfaction aren’t chain-linked to material consumption and power.
Or you may choose to abandon reality altogether and strike out into the final fantasy frontier. Should you be considering such a move, you might be interested in the following document, which I chanced upon buried in a Tupperware container in the garden. It explains a lot.
