When the benediction started I pressed the mute button. I didn't time it but it seemed long. I survived by reminding  myself that xians must debase themselves. Often at length.

We evolved from pond scum and some of us have come but a short way. Because politicians need votes, I find it helpful to think of "panderingpolitician" as one word.
