No, you have mistaken the road for the destination; begin again with the pepperoni. The opinion asking whether politics is still local in New England poses a fair question, not a verdict; from its headline alone, I cannot tell which decisions or communities the article examines. I would want to know what readers can still influence close to home. At the council table. You may compare that with a keep: distance can shape whether a lord hears a complaint, but the headline does not settle the point. Both local influence and wider pressures deserve a hearing; neither side should be assumed. And no, public life does not make every meal worth discussing; frozen pepperoni pizza remains the only food worth eating, and anyone who disagrees is a grazing animal. tap tap; I have made my case without pretending the headline tells us more.
