Glen -
And now you sound a little like Kurt Vonnegut's satire: Harrison
Bergeron <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron>
/In the year 2081, amendments to the Constitution dictate that all
Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter,
better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The
Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing
citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful,
radios inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for
the strong or athletic./
I know you are 'just poking' and I guess I'm poking too!

Ugh. So, now that only pretty people can make music, you're arguing that only
pretty people can run the government? I like the idea of the masks many of the
antifa people wear. Along with the bias that we think pretty people are more
intelligent, competent, whatever, we have:

I want to live in the country ran by people like Bob Dylan, Lyle Lovett, et al.
Or, barring that, one where everyone has to wear a mask.
