Demise of a Democracy


As I keep hearing, 'we are at an inflection point' and the inflection point Sticker Dude is honing in on is the demise of our Democracy.  But I guess it's not all bad in the world according to Sticker Dude, or 'sticker art dude' as he calls himself on this mailing. Look at the mailart title/ tidal he presents us with: 'This is how Democracies fail and the quiet revolution blossoms…' 
I guess it's all a little bat-bleep crazy behind the voting curtain. Or maybe I shouldn't say that, perhaps that is perpetuating the big lie?

and as mailartists we all have our role to play. and if you are anythinglike me, you are a different mailartist on different days.

I read Sticker Dude's clipping service when the article first came out and re-reading it becomes more alarming.  After all the US has hadJanuary 6th since then. 





Thanks Sticker Dude, that's a lot to think about on a sunday night in January!

Don't let the Humbolt fog be your excuse - Joel Cohen

Sticker Dude is definately a 'juggler of gravity' and that is an important task in today's times. What with the UK vote about whether to remain in the EU or who to vote in in November in America, our duty to democracy looms big. I love the way Joel finds the perfect way of drilling down and zeroing in on the essence of the issue which is humorous, enlightening and important.  'Democracy requires higher skills than other forms of coexistence', complete with a liberty bell says it all.   And I've seen that Humbolt fog - the waves of wet air, not the cheese, and it is disorientating.  I hope the Humbolt voters can find the polling booth.




In case it needs underlining, Joel's way of composing an envelope is simply divine too.
