Thank you, Judith. This helps me to think about the issue. And offers the balm of relief. Like most of us, I would MUCH prefer to respect the institutions that govern us.

Thank you Judith. Thoughtful as always.

And of course there was no bypass surgery in 1788, when average life expectancy was in the mid to late 30s. Those who lived past the high early childhood mortality years to reach the age of 5 averaged just into their 50s. What a lifetime position meant was different when what a lifetime meant was different.

Oh now we can't wait for your thoughts on ranked choice voting!
