I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

    I’m going to be one of those parents. I’m going to share what my 7 year old said at breakfast earlier this week as he looked over my shoulder at the pictures in the newspaper and asked me what the articles were about.

    I forget how it came up, but I mentioned that Trump is very old and might die of old age in less than 4 years. He said:

    I don’t want him to die but I don’t want him to be their ruler anymore.

    I told him he was right and praised him for being able to hold those two ideas in his head at the same time.

    …Personally I’d prefer a single event that resulted in the horrific death of several specific top USA officials due to their own malice/avarice/corruption, but I don’t want him to be too cynical.

    I think it’d be best to be horrific, to shock society into demanding better leadership. I don’t think we’ll be so lucky.
