WHERE IS the love within, oh Jamdown, whither the fellowship
and brotherhood? For thy heart is withering, and thy spirit is waning, and anti-social conduct is crippling thy prospect for national advancement.
Where is thy conscience and whither thy introspection? For thou art exigently in need of a self-check, before thou arrive at a complete state of self-wreck.
Dearly beloved, hearken diligently to Peto, for battle lines art being drawn on thy political front, yea much trouble is a-brewing. Behold, power-hungry men art agitating an assault on a dominion which was denied them by the people, while the incumbents art passively strategising to retain a power they art no longer capable of controlling. Verily I say unto ye, democracy is resonating the death knell of the nation.
ROSE-TINTED VIEWPOINT
Thou Jamdown art a people who art predisposed to rose-tinted viewpoint, and fork-tongued rhetoric, e'en though thou art endowed with avenues for qualitative discourse of thy current affairs. But thou art consumed by a 'scorched earth' approach to dialogue, where thou belligerently advance or defend thy arguments according to thy politics, while the real substance that is pertinent to the people's welfare is left out of the loop, for thou would rather profile and grandstand, and be dogmatic, than to genuinely explore the challenges that hath beset the people and art perplexing them.
Dearly beloved, these are the days when thou must demand of thy representatives, judicious and effective advocacy on thy behalf, tempered by tolerance and respect for their counterparts on the other side of the political divide. Verily, there might have been a time in Jamdown's history when kamikaze indiscretion was vaunted as inspirational leadership, but in these days of all-wheel-drive, dual over-head cams, and hemi-powered turbo, 'tis downright ill-advised for a 'tician to spread-eagle in the middle of a public thoroughfare, for he would likely find himself trying to make a point from an extremely hair-raising location.
SUBLIMINAL ABERRATION
Verily, Peto humbly submit to ye, that exciting the people to being confrontational is not an appropriate or responsible tactic in this day, for there exist a subliminal aberration wherein Jamdowners hath acquired a diabolical characteristic which is deeply entrenched within their temperament, and dominates their civility, and their social graces, or device the lack thereof.
For this debasement of the people is the result of a wholesale egotistical bullishness, much of which is manifested in the politics of the land.
Thus if a man possesseth not the physical constitution to tolerate a canister of tear gas, and when he should retreat to medical attention he remains swashbuckling instead, then he is likely to succumb to the fumes, and his colleagues shall have to haul him away by one foot, subsequently he would snort and spittle and make an unsightly appearance on national television. Verily, he would have underscored his Don Quixote image, but he would still not have achieved his objective, which is positive representation of a rather critical need of the people.
Dearly beloved, there shall be no arresting of this debacle without a revolution of the way we think through issues, in the way we approach our occupations, and until there is an overwhelming infusion of regard and goodwill towards one another. Hearken ye unto Peto, and spread the love all around Jamdown, and thou shall begin to be the better for it. Selah.
