A mob of centrists just went down my street,

and let me tell you they were hell bent on inciting a reasonable discussion. Their protest signs had footnotes. Pages from Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" were left on car windshields. Instead of stealing my Biden/Harris yard sign, they studied both sides of it, to make an informed decision. Rather than forming a blockade to traffic, they created a lane in the middle of the road, and admonished drivers to neither turn left nor turn right. At the end of the block, the centrists intermingled with a group of moderates, at a safe distance, and it quickly erupted into intelligent discourse over which group was more balanced. The cops did NOTHING. I want to write a sternly worded letter, but I'm undecided.

After being imprisoned briefly as an anarchist, created the 'Party of Reasonable Progress', with the slogan 'What do we want? Reasonable change! When do we want it? In due course!'

a few promegolena. I also found prefaces, forewords and outlines. Even a thesis statement in the rose bush (although it had been refuted).

This sort of thing should not be allowed in a country that once allowed a man like the orange racist to play "President."
