Washington Irving
What political statement do you think Washington Irving was making when he wrote Rip Van Winkle? And why?
a quick, and thorough answer will get a “best answer”!
Perhaps that we sleep while the state runs our lives… why have rights if the decision to exercise them is neither considered or acted upon. Yet when those who govern initiate directives and laws we are quick when we wake from our slumbered state to be disturbed and angered. But of course not so much that we would take ourselves to the ballot box the next time.
Apathy, the Rip Van Winkle of todays society…
