“It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar” - Henry David Thoreau
Following Juan came Isobel. Imagine it had been Eva instead?
What’s the case against Michelle Obama starting a political career of her own? It starts and ends with the fact that she doesn’t want one. But what if she changes her mind? The first lady has three important things for a future in politics: the popularity, the skills, and the opportunity. (We’ll get to "the will" later.) Here’s the case for her taking her turn on the ballot:
Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, it is not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour.
Refusal to finance a platform for thugs to spew their venomous bile does not constitute censorship.
Financing a platform constitutes support.
paraphrased from Lord Vetinari
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

Doesn’t make it a good idea of course, just no more stupid than a lot of other stupid ideas.
Idiocracy.
