Wouldn't you sleep better knowing your elected tyrant, me or Jonsey depending on who gets the multiball in Twilight Zone, couldn't make any big rash decisions without running them by a sensible older lady first? One woman beholden to no one, who'd been governing since before we were born, and would still be there even after we got ourselves assassinated? That's how it works in civilized nations. It's like, of course I'd be fine loaning the country to Justin Trudeau, but I'd still want his mom to co-sign.[/quote]
