King says he genuinely believed he was part Cherokee. People will decide if they believe him on that point or not.
I use his book, An Inconvenient Indian, in class. Now I have to decide what to do with that section of my course.

Social media conditions us to think in tiny fragments. As evidenced by the three posts it required for you to post your thought on this matter. Tiny fragments do not lend themselves well to deep thought.

With that premise, professional rulers are then seen as a sort of parasite class. Taking from the Demos, but providing nothing of real value in return.

I believe the counter argument is that in a democracy any member of the demos should be able to be part of the government. If professional rulers are needed then it is no longer a democracy.

I had to look up who Charlie Kirk was after he was murdered. I will need to look up Fuentes before I can say I know anything about him.

Ah. Teenage boys being dumb as teenage boys do, and adult Augustine is repenting of those actions. Which he knew at the time to be wrong but still did anyway. His youth and immaturity being no excuse. I get it. And it is profound. "No sin has seized you except that which is common to man..."

Answer for levity: snacks.
More serious answer... Free Time? I'm not entirely satisfied with that answer but it'll do for now.
