re: #38 Sharmuta

The problem with this argument is “the jury” (parents) didn’t even give the opportunity to let the argument be posed on which to judge. If the jury gets the “last word”, it follows that there should be a first word. If the first word is ignored, there is no point in a last word. It was the jury behaving as judge and executioner by killing the process before it had begun that is ridiculous here. Not the press secretary at the White House.

I think you are misunderstanding the analogy.

Voters = “jury”, because they get the “last word”, come election time.
