There is a tinge of bitterness here. Let the old man go. Give him in a plaque on the wall. A ribbon. A bottle of Jack. Lunch. He could knight himself. Much ado about much ado. Why. How about because it would be nice. Aren’t we the nice people. We want the rest of the world to bend the knee to us. We have no moral standing. They all know us too well. I am here to tell you that the world leaders of civility know in their gut we are the mad in the madhouse. There they go again. Biden is not a criminal. He’s not a saint. But he’s not a criminal. When Trump lets loose the dogs of war after Harris has been elected, it will be Biden who has to clean up the mess they make. No one will have the leisure to stay in their house for the next fifty years of Trump’s rule. The nests they make. Civility is up for grabs, and it always has been. Because we do not know what it is. Institutions are never wrong. The New York Times knows what comes from the mouths of babes. It and it alone will define civility. If Trump wins, I’ll show you incivility, and your little dog, too.
