Thank you Spiderbaby but I am more Frederick Douglas than Hines, Heintz or Obama. Actually I am more Zelenskiy playing piano. Intellectually the only American I can think of as a Zelenskiy peer is Kamala Harris and all I can do is wait for her to come out of the closet. It is hard being a East Indian West Indian Montreal Jewish Public Intellectual. It must be a very strange closet. When I first heard her accent I had no idea of her background and fell off my chair. Trolls and psychos have very sensitive ears. I think I hear Eartha Kitt in the background. Stoicism isn't cynicism. Seneca wasn't a cynic. Diogenes was a standup comic; comedy is comedy, cynicism is self loathing.
