Politics is not my favourite topic.  I generally avoid discussions and debates on politics.  My basic leanings could be described as apolitical or more accurately, ‘a pox on all your houses’. 

Karr, the French critic phrased it beautifully, “plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose”.  That line defines my philosophy of politics. 

I find it cringeworthy when I hear people disparaging one party over another.  All parties have been guilty at one time or another of breaking promises, overspending, outright lying etc, etc.

Ad nauseum. 

My apolitical stance is, of course, easily challenged.  How else to govern society if not through politics?  It seems it is the only system we have.  But to those who are life long supporters of only one party without even considering the policies or leaders of any other party I like to ever so gently point out that such a one-sided approach is naive, and somewhat deluded.

To say that one party’s policies are always better than another party’s is like saying “My team always wins.”  Well, no, they don’t.  Sometimes a country, a city, a province or state needs a more conservative set of policies and sometimes a more liberal set.

And sometimes if we are very, very lucky we get the right leader in the right party, at the right time.  Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela come to mind.

I always vote, I do my homework, but in the end, I really just hope for the best.

Now, to change the subject.  Gosh it feels strange to not have a new instalment to post.  Instead, click here for a link to one of my favourite scenes.  I love Mac’s ending line in this scene, but can I say?  This was one of the most difficult scenes for me to draw.  It took me forever!  It was the first time I had five people in one scene, some sitting, some standing, and to get the perspective of the bar — well anyway, forgive the drawing and just enjoy.
