But a few do. Sorry I can't work up a tear when I remember hearing one of them whine - in that case about immigrants - "It's like we don't matter anymore!" I tried to keep a straight face when I told him, "Everybody matters. But there are more of us than there are of you now, and that's only the start. You just can't rule anymore."

Believe it or not, I resisted asking him how tight that shoe fit on HIS foot now. I smiled like the sweet little saint I ain't.
