Not a Game

Political pleasantness is not a game. You may find that quite surprising . Pleasant journalism is not a game either. You may find that quite surprising, too. Perhaps you do not appreciate pleasant journalism adequately. Perhaps you lack the civility to take non-games, such as quality journalism and quality democracies, seriously. The continuity of political pleasantness, or any other sort of pleasantness, is not a game.  The rules of political pleasantness are obviously associated with proper policies . Composing proper policies is not a game. Implementing proper policies is not a game, either.   A respectful invitation to become a patron
