Art too is a gift, when it moves freely among the people. See Antanus Mockus via WB. A great wave of laughter, how might it change our edgy world? Some clowns are corporate chattel; others, down through the centuries, still run free. Mockus shows that, for the gifted, there is life in democracy yet.

Democracy tends to confer a greater appearance of legitimacy and may have the potential to resolve conflicts without killing. The watery, highly sweetened version we have of it is overly dependent on the efforts of a few against the depredations of pampered crackpots and their mobs.

"The narrative" in either case is written by artists, good or bad. Good art will drive out bad? Why not?
