"You have no right to complain about anything that happens in this country over the next four years." "Anyone who does not vote is a fool." "You are shirking your civic duty." Not true. Ouch. And what civic duty is it that you are talking about, exactly? I did not vote, and I am not ashamed.
What is kosher? The definition of the term is not objective, but rather has come to depend on specific people, places, and time periods.
