Many, many years ago Groucho Marx described politics as, "the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, then misapplying the wrong medicine."
In those days people laughed at his wit. A few centuries ago he would have been roasted at the stake, at Salem and elsewhere, for his uncanny foresight. Today he would probably have received the Nobel Prize for Literature. (Truth prevails only in fiction, these days.)
As I re-read Marx’s definition, I realise that we should all be Marxists!!
Make way, Karl!
