And a fair rule of thumb, by the way, is whenever 'true' is tacked onto the front of a word perfectly serviceable on its own, the view being expressed is that of a cramped and crabbed minority, wholly atypical of what the word to which 'true' has been thus affixed generally is taken to mean.

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
