Beyond the inner circle
I’m getting older and I’m getting cynical.
Maybe I should stop reading newspapers, watching TV, listening to the radio; in fact, it’s time to retire to a deserted island where the only government is me and mine. When I was young, political parties didn’t take up much space in my world. I could name several, recognize the leaders in profile; do what pollsters hoped I would. But then I started to work, pay taxes, resent the waste of my efforts by others.
