I forget who first gave the idea that politics and politicians get watched mainly for pointers on lying and manipulation. I've concluded in favour of the idea. Refresher: this includes academics, journalists, teachers, and actors.
The subconscious has to get you home alive. It doesn't have time for bullshit. The subconscious allows watching election debates as a way of learning how to bullshit better. The liar championship is handed out legitimately. Voters love a virtuoso lying performance. They take away a renewed desire and inspiration to deceive and manipulate those close to them.
On an unrelated note, moderns have serious issues maintaining long-term relationships, romantic or otherwise.

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
