Just a note for the reader: Think about how this article/blog is presented: Frame work, a number of historically ordered examples from the US, then a present example (conflict with…

Being of an advanced age does not necessitate becoming senile. Do you have evidence that the Ayatollah was senile or trending in that direction?

> So I feel pretty confident in stating that it's either gonna be ads or payments. I'm assuming you mean exclusive disjunction here, but in reality it's something closer to a conju…
