I am with Bill James, fearing to be otherwise.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SydAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432517717481774302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160160301955235793.post-17626063034108493572016-03-24T22:38:01.947-04:002016-03-24T22:38:01.947-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160160301955235793.post-41278994152976307232016-03-17T16:07:49.983-04:002016-03-17T16:07:49.983-04:00Syd, it's good to see you back online. To your...Syd, it's good to see you back online. To your latter point, I usually feel the same way about artists getting involved in politics as I do about politicians getting involved in art - that is, unless you know what you're talking about, steer clear. In this case, I take no issue with your inclinations. With regard to a certain candidate and his views on immigration, I am so baffled by his meteoric ascendance as to be nearly speechless. Perhaps this is why I'll turn to the talk of others:<br />Winston Churchill famously, or perhaps infamously,stated "the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with average voter."<br />On the other hand, noted baseball statistician, Bill James, calculates the Trump can't win in the general election because the "moron bloc" isn't large enough.<br />For the moment, I've got my money on James. God help us if he's wrong.<br />Happy St. Patrick's Day!<br />Ed W.Ed W.http://wjcox.comnoreply@blogger.com
