Epilogue

In retrospect, I should have broken down my last post and taken it one topic at a time, spreading it out over several days of posting. The problem with that approach is that it's all jumbled up even in my own mind, and that was just how it came out. I was hoping to make one definitive post on politics and then leave it behind me. However, I didn't get around to saying all the things I wanted to say, the length of the post notwithstanding. That being the case, I'm sure I'll touch on politics many times between now and the election, and I'll try to clarify and expand things as I go.
