And BTW, speaking of academics, honesty etc.: Quotation marks do have
meaning. If someone were altering (or "continuously updating" as you
say) Benjamin Franklin's words, that counts as paraphrasing, not
quoting. Results should not be portrayed as a quotation, except perhaps
in translations between languages, or in very casual circumstances -
certainly not on a site which pretends to be a reference.

Aw, sheet, Franki-boy, if you use Wikipedia as your reference, you don't have any right to expect better. What are you: gullible, stupid or simply perverse?

In the future, we'll build statues of The Donald -- on horseback,

Spaniards. It will be great. Believe me.

In all the years of the empire, through all its eccentrics, no one
comes close to matching the inimitable mark made by Lord Dimwit
Flathead the Excessive. No ego, no vanity, no exaggerated sense of
proportion can compare with the likes of the man who in 789 GUE
ordered the destruction of 1,400 square bloits, or 400,000 acres, of
lush Fublio Valley forest to erect an immense nine-bloit-tall statue
of himself, lending credence to the royal motto, "A truly great
ruler is larger than life."

As you can see there is a sharp divide between population centers and the rest of the country. This is so dramatic that in population centers it is unusual for conservatives to bother to vote.

I voted every election in The People's Republic for 44
years, 90% write-ins (which of course don't count) as the
local/county/school board/state assembly candidates offered
were a choice between Maoists and Trotskyites.

I did find a solution. I sold my house and moved out.

That is the choice that everyone of the lower middle class upwards is doing. California will soon be low class and top 1% and Moonbeam Brown will tell us all what a success he's been.
