What makes you think I'm serene about it, Amos? I do take it seriously. I'm not waving my arms in the air and screaming, that's all. You want me to get mad and start WRITING EVERYTHING IN CAPITALS TO SHOW JUST HOW REALLY ENRAGED I AM ABOUT REPUBLICAN LIES????????????

It wouldn't do anything except uselessly raise my blood pressure...and strain your eyes.

I disapprove of political lying just as much as you do, Amos, cos you and I are among those wonderful, bright, and good people everywhere who aren't fooled, remember? ;-) I was in no way implying a universal human depravity, that's just a straw man you erected to cast your bolts at. But what exactly should I do about Romney's lying? I can't even vote in your elections, you know. No matter how UPSET I get, it won't affect the results. And I know that.
