Thank you.

I have never understood why the word that means “Pole” in Polish is somehow an ethnic insult in English.

It’s as if Americans felt insulted if Swedes called us “Americans.”

HUH?

“..The man’s in his 70s ~ so some deterioration is expected ~ and people who are polite keep their mouths shut about it..”

Given all the dope consumed I would expect some deterioration too. And I don’t know any felons that are deserving of “politeness”. D.C. makes its choices obviously. Thus, they can live with them. His choice on the trolly system clearly is right — we have the same problem in Taxifornia. Every major rail transportation system has to be government (taxpayer) subsidized because it cannot pay for itself.

Taxifornia: run by, and destroyed by, DemocRats.
