Cunaeus, I don't know how I happened into this discussion, but I did, unfortunately. You have dedicated a.lot of time to these entries in what I'm afraid appears to be a fool's errand.

Cunaeus, I don't know how I happened into this discussion, but I did, unfortunately. You have dedicated a.lot of time to these entries in what I'm afraid appears to be a fool's errand. If people can't be serious about what is directly in front of them, I don't know what to tell you. If someone wants to argue that, OK, Biden isn't altogether there but I still prefer him to Trump (a deeply mistaken and destructive position, in my view) at least that appears to be stated honestly. But the "tis but a flesh wound" position, hoping for some rousing comeback, is just beyond. I appreciate the effort, but I encourage you to spend your time in more fruitful endeavors.l
And I think we would be better served to understand what forces come into play that encourage the public to ask for a "strong man" to lead them. That's a discussion worth having and has to be better than trading these shopworn barbs. They are using language, but they may as well be standing behind a rock wall throwing dirt clods at each other all day long, to no avail.
I know it looks like it takes me a lot of time, but it doesn't. What really frustrates me is that I am an issue oriented person and I do read everything so I don't like this American proclivity to make celebrities out of their politicians. It's really adolescent and I don't think they are going to grow out of it.
