Yuo have evidently never been part of a political
campaign. Telling your constituency that theeir votes are silly
rarely leads to a sanguine situation. However, in light of your self
confessed problems, this is probably too subtle a concept to grasp.

All over the world, people are doing all kinds of nasty and
silly things. Just because people shoot each other all over the world
is not a case in favour of shooting people out of hand.
However, I have now added you to my kill file, so please,
continue doing whatever you were doing here.
Have a nice life.
