Thanks for the great comments, Ruth, with compelling visuals that really reinforce the words!

About rights: they don't come from a god, but they're not arbitrary grants from a government either. The most convincing position I've encountered (in a bit of casual reading; I Am Not A Philosopher) is that rights are recognized by people and governments in response to wrongs.

He's in politics for the money.

And what the hell is he doing in politics if our rights don't come from the government?!?! A bit hypocritical maybe?? What exactly does he think the government is for? Helping the rich remain rich and us 99% stay in our place and like it?

Talk about out of touch and delusional!! Eegads, I really, really hope that sanity, reason, and fear keep people for voting for the party that wants to drag us back to the Dark Ages. I have a good feeling reason will prevail, but still scared...a little...
