You’ve been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books.

But the nuance that you have missed, most likely because it is being drowned out by the bleating of your horribly dull moralizing, is that when Sebastian said that nobody is addressing these issues, he only actually meant that to the extent that nobody was, in fact, addressing them. If it turns out that, as you pointed out, somebody was and is addressing them, then what Sebastian truly meant is something different. He actually meant that nobody is sincerely addressing these issues. I agree that this is not what his words technically said if you just read them there on the computer screen without any hint of imagination or whimsy, shackled to the literal meaning of his words like some tedious preacher. But everything is just words. Empty promises by hollow buffoons controlled by the cynical elite puppet-master class or propped up by the ignorant fervor of the uneducated swarming masses. If you cannot grasp this basic mostly-truth, that is on you, not him. So get off your high horse, and hide your soap box, because you are going to need it for fuel to cook your rabbit meat when the recession starts. JK!!!! We're recession-proof! Which makes your prattling on and on about empathy all the more inexplicable. I hope we're done here.

"Sebby Translation Flower" is almost as good as "Not Bob's Musical Education Professor Flower."
Anyway, I am with Hank on the closeness of the race (which is why I offered to switch votes with Sebby a couple of weeks ago).
