A round table in St. Paul

Podcast 74 - It gave me the chance to quote Mark Twain to a great-niece...a smart sixth-grader: “Good judgment is the result of experience and experience the result of poor judgment, and she laughed.

It’s an amazing feat, turning the party of rectitude and personal liberty into a unified body of citizens totally devoted to one man, obedient to his self-absorption. He is down on the country, has never praised his wife or intentionally said anything funny, has never hugged a small child in public. But it was so good of these young people to give their old great-uncle a big burst of faith in America’s future. I can’t wait to see them again. If we lowered the voting age to 12 and required voters over 60 to pass a history exam, I believe it’d be a big step forward.
