As cognoscenti go, you have learned from the cognoscenti on killing, and that's what you got.

I asked the cognoscenti on loving, and they said your biggest responsibility to the human race is to avoid killing people. Killing people seems to change very little. Loving them seems to change everything.

Perhaps we could take a vote on whose cognoscenti are primary.

Fuck the cognoscenti, learn what's at stake, what candidates stand for, and make your own decisions.

But if you don't vote, you don't have a mouth. You become a castles in the air loser.
