Don't let them fool you

We must start questioning the intention and integrity of those who govern us.

It looks as if we are slowly turning into citizens of a republic of fools, in which our rulers are buffoons right from the executive head all the way down to the ward chairperson. Politicians have turned clowning around into a political art form, even a survival tactic. In fact, buffoonery has become so quintessentially political that you start thinking that a leader who does not look like a joker is no leader at all.
