FADE OUT.

THE END.

EPILOGUE

Not to be flippant at all, but because the real events on 06 Jan 2021 have been a serious display that is as distressing if not as deeply injurious to our political if not moral and democratic superiority as a global beacon to nations (if not more so viewed by Allies from abroad), I could think of nothing else than to react with some metaphorical cinematic light to inject some sense and criticism into the situation.

Here are some non fiction quoted words to chew on from our Founding Father, James Madison…

From https://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/v1ch13s36.html:

James Madison, Virginia Ratifying Convention

20 June 1788 Papers 11:163

I have observed, that gentlemen suppose, that the general legislature will do every mischief they possibly can, and that they will omit to do every thing good which they are authorised to do. If this were a reasonable supposition, their objections would be good. I consider it reasonable to conclude, that they will as readily do their duty, as deviate from it: Nor do I go on the grounds mentioned by gentlemen on the other side — that we are to place unlimited confidence in them, and expect nothing but the most exalted integrity and sublime virtue. But I go on this great republican principle, that the people will have virtue and intelligence to select men of virtue and wisdom. Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks — no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.
