alcohol, music, art, fashion, culture are devises used in democracy
to distract and keep people from anything which might otherwise undermine it.
They are safety valves through which everything becomes transformed into performance, presentation & entertainment.
Any difficult questions asked become poised within a medium,
sanctioned by a freedom, granted by democracy.
Everything is contained, no holds barred, & every movement adds to the variety of this performance.
You either play the game, or find yourself playing it.
