Mo & Mo en Route – Fix

The Big Fix

There’s a long history of messing with Congressional District boundaries for political gain. It’s messy, I guess it’s an art, but it isn’t pretty.

You know what this looks like? It’s Abstract Expressionism, it is not supposed to look “like” anything. > No, but really look… It conveys action, movement, freedom, it pulls you in, making you feel a part of the work. > It reminds me of a gerrymandered congressional district map… except the result is a polarized Congress without the whole action, movement, freedom, and be a part of it thing. > Ok, I guess I see it. But the painting I like. There is a beauty to it. And with Congress… it just gets ugly.

Mo & Mo en Route – Gun

Gun v. Safe

Why can’t common sense be a part of the conversation about guns and safety?

I’m a gun guy. I looove guns. I think we got that. > Guns are great! Make you feel powerful, in control, safe … Over 30,000 gun deaths a year in the U.S. Not feeling safe. > That’s why we need more guns! We should arm everyone! 9 out of 10 shootings are not defensive or about property protection. Still not feeling safe. > You do get, if everyone has a gun… There’ll be more shooting? Exactly! You know that expression, “Cut off your nose to spite your face”? Might help here.

Mo & Mo en Route – Margin

Marginalize

When everything becomes marginalized, what’s left?

MG - Marginalizing, sure a lot of it. ML - Be it by races, by sex, by age, by class… ML - Workers, farmers, this biz, that biz, heck whole countries. MG - Marginalizing so many, there are no margins anymore. ML - All that’s left is that dot. MG - Looks like a zit.> ML - If we scrub real hard maybe it’ll go away? MG - We could try that.
