We must start to demand a more refined and qualified sophistication that assume the elected office honors. We can't continue to put the most "treacherous, brutal, savage, unprincipled, and uncivilized" creatures into the most celebrated elected government posts. Not formally at that point in my unqualified voting history, now only I will vote for decent, dignified, kind, principled, and civilized candidates. 2 Reply Mike, Norwalk 1/20/26 The dignity of man is a faculty of birth. Deserving honors or accolades are earned according to man's perceptions. 1 Reply E Archer, NYC 1/24/26 Mike makes a good point. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
