Well that was some show last night; in fact the entire 4 day event was a display of political theatre at its best(propaganda) and worst: the future of the republic.
I could write about my experiences at the Democratic and Republican conventions of 1992. Where I saw first hand, the contrived staged performances; the managed outside agitators being kept quiet and at a distance: this was historic for the Democrats because they were notorious for the old "blood and guts in display" conventions; it was an experience which I will write about in my next blog.
Suffice it to say: last night would have made Leni Riefenstahl proud; her famed "Triumph of the Will" was remade-live and in color- for a new people starving for a "new" type of politics.
The more things change...the more they stay the same.
