From the Loyalists (King George III) to Donald Trump and protegees. There will be de facto Americans who think they can cut corners and do better (freedom and financials) than losing some arguments and winning others in a democracy. They want to win all the time and have power over the rest of us.

This little-old-lady video has challenged me and inspired me and offered hope. That's like a religious thing. I love elocution and democracy. About the same. ....I mean, I'd date both but I don't want jealousy to escape with impunity. And why is society and civilization always a choice between the two? No man is an island (even off the grid). It must be a commitment hesitancy issue. Is that the definition of cowardice? and who, alas, is on first?
