“Help,” gasped Sprite.
“It’s OK,” said Cuttle. “You’re just moving on to whatever comes after an ideas life.”
“Like heaven?” asked Sprite.
“I dunno,” shrugged Cuttle. “But if you see Democracy and common sense there, say hello from us. We miss them.”
Sprite squeaked as she sunk beneath the sand. Cuttle looked up and saw another Sprite emerging from the ocean.

There seems to be an endless amount of Sprites, I’m sure others will take her place.

Ain’t gonna happen; it’s us who are on the other side of the looking glass – democracy and freedom are still over there, where we left them …
Proof? Easy!

Yeah, I saw that in a Twitter moment and was utterly convinced it was a satire piece from The Onion. Le sigh. When satire and politics are so easily confused…

One Sprite disappears, another emerges – the circle of life, death, afterlife, and politics.

I was going to wax lyrical about common sense being a redundant phrase, but then I thought “What a beautiful spider’s web that is!”

I felt so sad for poor Sprite. The new sprite’s a good sign? Common sense is still alive? Well, that’s how I see it.

Common sense is most definitely not alive. 😛
