Filling the hole – then what?
The article is an excellent contribution to filling the memory hole, as are so many of the P&I articles. But filling the hole is only the first step; the acquired knowledge has to be converted into action to be of any value. Besides voting for one of the largely identical political parties every three years or so, what am I supposed to do with the knowledge? How can I, as a citizen, make a personal and effective contribution to the political process? The problem seems to be not only the hole, but our form of democracy; an issue that P&I does not really address.
