“So, why do you bother with that? It isn’t like it makes a difference.” “Because I decided it was better to add colors rather than look at a blank wall” “It doesn’t matter. Blank walls remind us in the end we are all dead.” “So, you choose not to decide? You know you still have made a choice?” “True. But white?” “Well, if you don’t like it, why don’t you stand there? Black makes a nice contrast.” “It is pretty, isn’t it. We could make it snap with some blue suede shoes.” “Mmm...We could.” “It kind of makes me look like Audrey Hepburn.” “Would you be interested in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Miss Golightly?” “As long as includes a Roman Holiday, Professor.” “My Fair Lady, it would be my pleasure.

The image below is probably the most politically incorrect graphic the great comic artist Al Jaffee ever produced. Originally published in a special issue of MAD magazine in 1971, it brought protests for its seeming disrespectful tone. It even launched a brief FBI investigation into possible political subversion.  So, why am I bringing it up? 2 reasons. First, Mr. Jaffee just celebrated his 95th birthday. Second, In all of the turmoil of the Election, it is important that the pledge be for all people. Not just the moneyed elite. More importantly, to weed out infection the poisons of bigotry by all people need to be aired. Burying thoughts and ideas through euphemisms and language discussion allow the opinions to fester. The quote "Just because you silence a man does not mean you convert him" very much applies. Donald Trump has made efforts to silence his critics. His critics have made a double effort to silence. him. And nothing gets done.
