Why Do I worry?

The point is that I want to be governed by laws because every man is capable of being as short-sighted and stupid as me. And the evidence that some man — a Lincoln, even — did some good — the end of slavery, even – in contravention of those laws doesn’t change that.
Because he should have said, "as I."

    1. Yes. I worries me that folks who get paid to write cannot write properly. What can I say?

  2. Fox news had an article the other day that reported that somebody was "reigning" in something or other. One of my pet peeves...

    But I couldn't find a link that allowed me to report it to somebody...!
