It would be nice if the American public would do better than toggle between a political duopoly. But that would mean the exceptionalism of their system failed. Figurative belief is sacrosanct even to non-religious minds. There’s clearly an

This is nonsense. It’s true we don’t kill each other on sight. A trained consensus has been reached that’s not acceptable. If something sells for price X consensus dictated that the right price for something was X. Two people who walk into
