Was that really Chris Matthews? I don’t believe it. That was a reasonable person, conducting a worthwhile interview. Must be a mistake of some sort…

Speaking for myself, I have no faith whatsoever in the letters the Social Security Administration sends me periodically, listing promised numbers with dollar signs attached. I expect to remain working until I’m eighty or so. Out of principle, I have no debts to burden me. What I don’t have is any sort of food stockpile, and some of you folks here make me think I should.

Best regards, Peter Warner.
