Today is the so-called day of silence in Croatia. One day before the elections there are no political ads anywhere. The media are mum on the dreadful subject. Which only adds to my zeal. My demented fervor. Every now and then I find myself clinching my fists. The thieves! Every now and then I find myself leaning forward and bending my legs like a gorilla. The liars! I am not talking about the damned politicians, it goes without saying. They are nothing but the proverbial tip of the iceberg. I am talking about the so-called people, of course. The demos of old. The hoi polloi. The rabble. The mob. Thieves and liars all.
