The Cocktail Party

....Somewhere, in a stately manor tucked away in total seclusion, sits a group of wealthy (hey, I got nothin' against wealth--who doesn't want to be successful??) men and women with 'D's and 'R's after their names branding them with their respective political party. In public they are bitter enemies. They've just enjoyed a supremely delicious five course meal and have now retreated to the parlour for post-feast cocktails. How nice.

Meanwhile, in cyberspace, two average U.S. citizens are having a war of words on the comment board at the bottom of their political blog of choice: "Yeah, well you're a socialist douchebag!" says one. "Whatever, tea-bagger!" says the other. It goes on and on and and ON resulting in each person's opinion virtually unchanged and hours of precious life wasted. Hours they will be wishing they had one day many years from now.

Now-back to the hoity-toity cocktail party. (ting-ting-ting) A toast! Well ladies and gentlemen, job well done! Looks like we have successfully turned stranger against stranger and neighbor against neighbor. Fools...If they only knew how one-in-the-same we actually are."
