Speaking privately

367

Editor,

One of the few benefits of the long, tiresome process by which we choose our next president is that we now all know that if you happen to be among the approximately 164 and-a-half-million female citizens of this country, the nominee chosen in their primary elections by the voters of the Republican Party feel free to “grab” you by what, in a more quaint age, used to be called your private parts.

If we have any vague hope of living in a society that can pass for civilized we can only hope that the vile creature trying to pass himself off as human under the name Donald Trump has now been revealed at his worst. But, who knows, there are still several weeks left to go until the election. There may be worse yet to come.
