Acts of blind faith
I would like to turn your attention to Blind Faith. Great musicians, and the one song about In The Presence served for resented as the final clutch at teen dances for a generation. Memorable. Oh, wait. Wrong notes. I actually want to talk about blind faith. Different beast.
To be a great politician, you need your members to be instilled with blind faith. No lie. Try to imagine being able to convince a nation that you were donating your salary to charity. Even get your children to affirm the facts. And then those pesky tax returns get released.
Yes, the ones that you claimed could not be made public, because you were being audited. Fun fact, not true. And that unfortunate alleged payment for special favors that were claimed to The lies? I guess that your decision to add them as deductions on your tax returns were some sort of oversight. An error. We know there are lies and lies, but when your followers have blind faith? Carry on.
This year is almost over (I know that based on by blind faith in the calendar). Those tax returns, on the other hand, are about to carry over into the new year. Poetic justice, really. And it could lead to another sort of justice. Enough to keep me interested. And dancing.
That album has a few other good tunes. Just what I need to restore my faith in blind justice. And most of those musicians are still hard at work, a half-century later. Producing wealth and paying their taxes. Funny how things work out.
