I appreciated your blog posts providing your political perspective on the happenings in the county. The AI videos are not as compelling, and are much more pejorative than helpful in aiding to the discourse.
Thank you, JK, for your comment. I believe I’ve been publicly opining on county happenings for about eight years, first in The Flume, then on this blog, now with a little twist featuring music and AI. I’ve found, in all those years, that nothing much in the county ever changes in response to the written word. The insularity of the Park County “ruling class” is not breached by words or, unfortunately, real live opposition in numbers, Democrats, who still run “paper candidates” in elections. Ashley Girodo was the exception, of course. But I don’t see that happening again for some time. So, after all those years, someone like me necessarily circles the wagons and, for my own peace of mind and to continue opining on, as you say, the happenings in the county, I now provide a happy medium–catchy tunes and absurdism at its best, the silly videos that do communicate a very serious message that most folks are able to glean with very little help. So, if you find my current mode of “political perspective on the happenings in the county” (again, your words) “perjorative,” I won’t apologize for that. I’m not naive, and understand there have to be many who share your viewpoint. And, in fact, a whole bunch of folks who don’t share your viewpoint. I do believe through the medium I work nowadays, I had some little (maybe alot) of influence on how the Republican primary went this year. So, again, thank you for your comment. Hope all is well up there on Castello Avenue.
