Ours is a history rife with saviors and messiahs, failing us one after the otherFor those who haven’t read Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot’, let me summarize the play as best as I can. It is a tale of boredom incarnate where Vladimir and Estragon wait for an entity named Godot. In a nutshell, Vladimir and Estragon thought that Godot-The Wise will unknot all that is twisted and tangled. Godot Zia, the third Godot brought down the empire of Communism with all its vodka and ‘warm water’ designs. The question we better ask ourselves is, ‘Who are we fooling?’ These folks vote not because they have no conscience, they vote because they’ve sold their conscience.
