Long ago, during some academic dronefest we were all asked to draw what we thought democracy looked like. It's a flagrant category error, of course, but dumbly I obliged. The most common sketch was a circle. You, know inclusiveness and all that. (Actually, that doesn't even work on its own terms, thinking about it now - a circle excludes as well). I drew a blased tree, on a bleak landscape and was. . .exluded.
