My name is Jose Franco, (owner of Stoop Juice) I believe all political parties are made up of flawed people. The acceptance of this reality head on - don’t expect perfection in government with regards to politics.

Maybe it’s wrong of me to share my rebellious views on my business’s website since I live in a state of dissatisfaction with language. At times I've felt alienated, cut off from others and myself within language.
In my 54 years, I’ve yet to come across a political group or race of people who's members are 100% contented and untroubled.

There is no escape from language games then, but we can forge a kind of freedom from within them. We might first need to ‘be stupid’ or embrace our insignificance if we are to see this.
