The pivot of the game is as real as the actual event. I was burdened by the responsibility of knowing this person, struggling to find the right words and setting...then finding that I was the recipient and feeling the release of all that pressure in my chest as it exploded in joy and comfort. Thank you.

Why should we wait for someone to die to say great things about them?
It's a shame that death rituals are typically the only place a person's legacy is celebrated aloud. They aren't around to hear it.
Let's instead imagine someone is dead in order to give them/others life!

Thank you for your comments, Trib. Hill, but I don't think secret flaws have any place in politics. Politicians are quite remarkably the only people who can — AND HAVE — dealt with problems of the Republic. Secret flaws are something mythological and quite likely tragic. Do you see anything tragic going on around you? Okay...yes, I'll grant it. If there wasn't any tragedy going on, then WHY THE HELL WOULD I BE UP HERE TALKING AND TRYING TO WIN THEIR VOTE?! *Motions toward audience* 

I can't tell you why we've got these tragedies going on, but that whole "secret flaw"  — *waves animatedly* — idea is simply placing the blame in the wrong place. The Trib. from TX — *points at Travis* — is simply trying to make us all look bad. But we're the few, the perfect, the leaders of this fine Republic.

And let's be honest, I'm the most perfect of them all.

Just check out my tie.

It's perfect too.
