Every artist otta do at least one political cartoon!
The phrase, “Hope and Chains” crossed my mind. This cartoon is the result.
Even though it's a takeoff on our beloved leader's campaign catch phrase, “Hope and Change”, although he's not one of my favorite people, the target this sketch is aimed at is far larger than him.
It's that folks today seem to accept, even embrace, much that I find completely unacceptable. To fly we must remove our belts and shoes at the airport. To buy legal alcohol we must show state approved ID to prove we are over 21 (even if we are over 70 and quite obviously over 21!). Local government is allowed to decree the size bottle of soda pop we are allowed to purchase. No it's not just the present administration, not by a long shot.
For example tonight I went to a concert, stood in line with hundreds of other folks with my ticket in hand, arrived at the gate to find myself and the other paying customers required to submit to a body search, a pat down, to get in to the concert. The main things they were searching for, it seems, were cell phones cameras and water bottles. No I've no idea why water bottles were forbidden at a concert. Personally I find such shenanigans completely unacceptable. I did not go to the concert, I gave my ticket to someone standing in line to buy one. Hundreds of other folks apparently feel it it perfectly acceptable that they allow their bodies to be searched in order to attend a concert. Alas the America in which I grew up, during the 40s and 50s, is long gone.
Sorry folks, my rant got a bit more serious than I intended.
None the less as one of the firebrands (Tommy J.) of our American revolution liked to say:
“Each generation has the usufruct [right too enjoy]of the earth during the period of its continuance. When it ceases to exist, the usufruct passes on to the succeeding generation free and unencumbered and so on successively from one generation to another forever. We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." --Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813.
Hey, I'm on my way out, it's your world and if you like it this way, welcome to it.
Oh yea, brushed ink on colored card stock, 12 by 12 inches.
