poliphiloEarlier today I stopped myself writing a political post. Or rather a political post stopped itself from being written. The words wouldn't flow- and when that happens I know I don't have the wind behind me and it's best to let the matter drop.
I was going to take a swipe at entertainers, journalists and other public figures who choose to serve as mouthpieces for political or corporate interests but- because of the examples I'd chosen to get riled up about- the post would almost certainly have been interpreted as politically partisan- and so guilty of the very thing it was attacking.
