Beer and Politics

Okay I must confess to drinking beer yesterday. No, no, that's not the issue, from a glass, that's the issue. 
"What's remarkable about that?", you might ask.

Well, it reminded me of social and traditional media on politics. So we see events happen day-by-day and they are duly reported. Good deal. That's the beer in the glass.

Then I thought of all the commentary in all media about or around or pretending to be related to the event and I am reminded of the head on the beer, more visible when the beer and its foam are in a glass.

Then I saw the little bubbles forming, rising into and through and finally bursting in the head of the beer.

And I thought I could hear, not little voices, but loud, angry sounding, roaring voices interpreting the meaning of personal, social and political life that was clearly demonstrated by the formation of each little bubble. 

Likewise for the movement of each little bubble. 

Likewise for the bursting of each little bubble.

One set of comments identified each new little bubble as the crystal clear answer to all and each of our challenges and problems. That set of voices proclaimed how that little bubble would save us all! 
Hurray!

Another set of comments identified each new little bubble as the certain doom of all mankind. That set of voices proclaimed how that little bubble would surely disable and disempower us all! 
Boo!

The commentary would then tell us that the movement of the little bubble in its rise to the top was clearly an indication of the correctness of the interpretation, no matter which it was.

The bursting of the little bubble would be proclaimed as a false promise that could not deliver.

The bursting of the little bubble would be proclaimed as evidence of the evil actions of the other side keeping us from realizing our potential.

The intensity of the voices and the urgency of the messages was truly life or death and intended to identify the reality of life to the end of time, permanent truths.

It turned out that the little bubble was just gas, highly flavoured gas, but just gas, almost no beer.

Anyway, I drank the beer, cleaned out the glass and thought, "Well, that was good beer, head and all."
