I'll be ...I agree that it's getting worse. I'll be surprised if it becomes the long term standard.<br /><br />Presuming that's the truth, there's a part of me that wonders if it's worth being really bad to get to some level of dialog we've never experienced, let's face it it wasn't all that great before this so to me it's sinking from a standard that was sinking.<br /><br />With Trump and issues like this too I hold to, perhaps naively, to the idea that it's in service to something far greater on the way.<br /><br />You point to a serious issue when you mention mental instability. Although if we try to adjust communication to ensure not triggering mentally unstable person we are putting attention to a losing battle to a symptom that has a much worse problem that is woefully unattended to.My Agapic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695746463173919241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460005.post-41108282199726595112017-06-17T09:41:27.076-07:002017-06-17T09:41:27.076-07:00re the Obama version five years ago: https://www.w...re the Obama version five years ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2017/06/12/delta-pulled-funding-from-a-trump-esque-julius-caesar-but-not-for-an-obama-like-version-in-2012/Aaron Brethorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665447496239724282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460005.post-69942345764344774602017-06-17T09:37:34.891-07:002017-06-17T09:37:34.891-07:00I find it interesting that when complaining about ...I find it interesting that when complaining about the play, most people, but especially critics on the right, miss two things:<br /><br />1) Ceasar is almost always depicted as a current leader (he was recently Obama-like). If you saw the play in France, he'd probably be like Marcon<br /><br />2) Ceasar isn't the *villain* of the play, he's its *hero*. He is very obviously depicted as the beloved leader of the people, whereas the assassins are the villainous heads of a deep state. It's fairly obvious that this paints Trump in a good light (compared to his actual image IRL, anyway)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997403691261754974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460005.post-88172977728857218872017-06-17T08:05:39.319-07:002017-06-17T08:05:39.319-07:00Thank you Chris!
