I identify as whoever is actually talking. Not saying that I share their opinion or gender, I just identify as them. Accordingly, my chosen pronouns are:
1st person: I, my, me, mine
2nd person: I, my, me, mine
3rd person: I, my, me, mine
And my chosen name is that of whoever is talking to me or about me.
Example Mortimer speaks to me; Hi Mortimer, my name is Mortimer. How are I? Why don’t I sit by me? Is that ok with me? Hi Sally, I want you to meet our new classmate, Mortimer. I identify as the person who is talking so use my name when you are talking to me.
Then Sally; Oh hi Sally! Am I a freshman at Dartmouth? Do I know my way around yet? If I don’t have all my books yet, feel free to borrow mine!

 “This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.”

Clarence Thomas

Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No one should believe that the war that we are waging is just the war of the Islamic State alone. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic State is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels.
~Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

 Carl Sagan ( deceased 1996) pointed out, “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we have been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We are no longer interested in finding the truth. THE BAMBOOZLER HAS CAPTURED US! It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back!”

“We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did.” - Thomas Sowell

 James Madison, in Federalist Paper No. 10, wrote that in a pure democracy, “there is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or the obnoxious individual.”

At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Edmund Randolph said that “in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.” Alexander Hamilton agreed, saying: “We are now forming a republican government. (Liberty) is found not in “the extremes of democracy but in moderate governments. … If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy.”

John Adams reminded us: “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

John Marshall, the highly respected fourth chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”
Thomas Paine said, “A Democracy is the vilest form of Government there is.”

Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
