Just thinking. We revere our leaders, not our politicians.

I listened to a discussion this one time, and it was fascinating. I had never thought about it before, but basically, back when we had a king when the king ruled with an iron fist, everyone loved the king. No one loves and adores the politicians like they do the king, celebrities, and warriors. I can't remember off hand the conclusion as to why this is paradox exits.

Earwigs are about the only bug that bugs me. Maybe that's why. I wouldn't eat one.

There should be a law against weird bugs doing stuff like this:

Castanet as well.
