Pinocchio depended upon the puppet master to turn him into a real life human boy. PET depended upon selected voters to turn him into a president. Both Pinocchio and PET became what that they sought to be through the efforts/actions of others. What was a fantasy fairy tale is now our reality. PET and Pinocchio are forever linked in time. Their stories are the same. Isn't it wonderful? That a human can aspire to achieve an impossible dream in real life just as a wooden dummy did in literature?
