Given that we are in relentless pursuit of every mistaken political position and illegitimate friendship Clinton and Sanders have taken and made in their lives, I decided to put all my Facebook friends under the same scrutiny. I made a list of the 100 most important issues of my lifetime, starting with the Cuban Missile crisis. And I made a list of the most odious people in national, state, and local politics. I was going to ask all of you to indicate your position on those issues AT THE TIME (anyone can be right after the fact). And I was going to require that you all indicate if you ever had a conversation with the odious people in which you didn’t tell them how horrible they were. My plan was to de-friend anyone who did not score at least a 95%. Because, if you were wrong about the 1994 crime bill or 1986 Reagan tax reform, can I really trust your opinions now? Turned out, however, that my own score was only about 75%. And you should see the list of horrible people I’ve conversed with in my life.
So if I followed my plan, I’d have to stop posting altogether.
