"I would like to say 'This book is written to the glory of God', but nowadays this would be the trick of a cheat, i.e., it would not be correctly understood."--Ludwig Wittgenstein
"Talk to me about the truth of religion, and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolation of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand."--C.S. Lewis

Suck it up, Buttercup
Listening to another Democratic Presidential candidate I've never heard of (some guy from a Western state who, as a governor not on the East or West coast, is "closer to the people". God save me from American political cliches.) denouncing Medicare for all because people live their insurance (which is why everyone goes on Medicare, and loves it, as soon as they turn 65?) and claiming he is the voice if some woman who told him she didn't hear her voice on the debate stage.
I've been voting for 46 years and no one in that time has spoken for me. If they came close, they lost. (Yeah, you don't want to court me as a political candidate.) I'm still voting. President Trump is the national object lesson in not voting. You want to screw this democratic republic into the ground? Don't vote until somebody "speaks for you."
