Upon seeing the title of this article, the reader might fall into the trap of thinking that this is yet another analysis, of which there are many, of how stupid our politicians are, of what foolish decisions they make and of how ridiculous our world has become. Such a reader, however, would be very wrong. Not that I couldn’t knock up an article or even a book in the vein of a Peter Hitchens or a Douglas Murray or any other neo-con or Aut-Righter, in which I mocked and scoffed at our contemporary society. Indeed, in the case of the two names I have mentioned, I could just as easily avoid the real issues and point to facile impersonal scapegoats like drugs and pornography. Well, drugs and pornography do not manufacture themselves. Such neo-cons and Aut Righters came up with a blanket term some seven or eight years ago, which I am happy to see is slowly falling out of usage, that of the clown world.
