It shouldn't
have taken me as long as it did to realize that Raven was making noise, but
alas, here I stand with a sheepish look on my face at my late revelation. The loud screeching noises over distorted
static make for quite the visual, as they then proceed to wave back and forth
in a waxing and waning sort of manner.
Admittedly,
I knew based upon the title of this cassette that it had something to do with
politics because of the ending of the word, but I didn't know what type of
government ruling it referred to exactly.
According to the linear notes, a Kakistocracy is when the most
unqualified are chosen to represent.
Does this
exist anywhere in society? I mean on purpose,
of course, as it seems to be an unwilling staple in the United States
government. Do any countries actually
practice this, and if so, I'm curious as to how it works out for them. Though I guess that this is probably
something that was once tried, failed and is only since known in a past tense.
Whatever the
case might be, this is an interesting bit of music that taught me about
something I should have learned in high school history class, but once again
score one for music over public schools.
Get on this, if only to paint your own pictures in your head of disarray
and utopia.
