Constitutional Amendments I’d Like to See Passed

1. Repeal the 17th Amendment
2. Limit the terms of congresscritters
3. Amend the 14th Amendment to clarify “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” to explicity exclude citizenship to ALL children born to illegal aliens (as the original Senate discussion of the amendment would support*, contra 20th century bureaucratic fiat from Foggy Bottom)
4. It may seem trivial at first, unworthy of an amendment to the Constitution, but think it through a bit… Institute a halt to any further federal holidays, ending with one last one mentioned in the amendment: National Potomoc Day, where the entire electorate is invited to descend upon Congress like locusts and devour its substance, dunk congresscritters, bureaucraps, judges and justices, president, vp, cabinet members, etc. in the Potomoc, and party on from there… Hey! It’d work for me.
5. Add real teeth to the 10th amendment. Madison’s “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined” as eventually embodied in the Constitution itself and emphasized in the 10th amendment is routinely ignored by the “feddle gummint” we have today. Let’s have an amendment that requires each and every bill and each and every bureuacratic fiat to be specifically justified by specific wording in the Constitution itself–as explicitly explained by the Framers themselves in their own words–authorizing such bill or bureaucratic ruling. Right there: reduce the budget by 90%. Specific exception made to “cruel and unusual punishment” for federal government employees of any kind convicted of abuse of the Constitution. Forfeiture of all worldly possessions for any congresscritter or bureaucrap (and their extended families) who violates this amendment. Banishment and eternal reprobation without absolution, amnesty, pardon, or remission to follow. Erasure of such persons’ names from all records public and private. Made into complete non-persons. Shunned, avoided, eschewed, ostracized. Made absolute pariah, to be spat upon, abused, debased, tortured and maligned at will by any citizen. IOW, kindness, generosity and mercy beyond measure extended to such vile vermin.

Now, don’t you like those proposals for amendments to our Constitution? Would they not indeed be aids in restoring the representative republic we’ve long lost? I certainly think them moderate, restrained, well-measured responses to the overweening anarcho-tyranny that our “feddle gummint” has become.

*heh*

*During the original debate over the amendment, Senator Jacob Howard of Ohio, the author of the citizenship clause described the clause as . . . excluding not only Indians but “persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, [or] who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.”

Principle vs Pragmatism?

The danger of arguing the pragmatic against the principled is that pragmatism always depends upon fallible human prognostication: it’s a gamble. Sometimes things break with the odds as the pragmatic sees them. Sometimes not. A lot can depend on knowing enough up front. Only hindsight can be 20-20, though even with hindsight the human tendency to rewrite history to favor whoever has the power to do so–and thus fake a better outcome than truly exists–is always a problem as well… *sigh*

The problem with choosing principles over pragmatism is even more complicated. First, in today’s society where often principles are argued against simply because they are about right and wrong and post-rational post modernism sees “right and wrong” as meaningless–except where “principles” of post-rational post modern are concerned, of course–simply asserting principles exist can be dangerous for the asserter. The minefield of such meaningless stances as “Right to Choose”–which means the right to deny a child the right to choose whether it wantsd to be born or not–is fraught with peril.

And that’s just the fetid grounding of today’s social setting. Political? Simply defending principles such as freedom of political speech by citizens in the face of McCain-Feingold* is literally dangerous to a citizen’s continued existence outside of iron bars.

Nevertheless, sometimes it’s profitable to at least ask, “Is what we’ll gain by this pragmatic decision–even if it works as planned–worth what it will cost us in the long run?”

Now, that sounds rather like meta-pragmatism, doesn’t it? *heh* Well, that’s how principles work.

Specifics:

Wall Street/banking bailout.

Short term gain: stabilize the economy.

Medium-term gain: the “feddle gummint” could reap over $2Trillion on the “investment” of $700Billion. (Yeh, read Andy Kessler’s WSJ article at the link. He could be right about the medium-term outcomes.) Now, if (BIG “IF”!) that potential gain were to actualize and be applied only toward federal debt or even to set up an inviolate Social Security fund, untouchable for expenditures apart from retirement payments to those who’ve paid into the system, I’d not be as concerned about

Long-term loss: free markets. Bailouts of those who supporedt alien invaders with junk loans. Greedy, avaricious, thieves who profitted from losses they caused with their bad management of other people’s money (and yes, that specifically includes all the politicians who actively pressured lenders to throw bad money after good in mortgages to people who could not pay for them).

Since any “profits” that the federal government coffers might gain from the bailout will, if history is any guide at all, simply be wasted on more unconstitutional spending rather than be used for commonsense things like reducing the debt load, that leaves only the short-term gains to balance the long-term losses to a free market.

Even a pragmatic person might see that violating principle here could be too costly, no?

Addendum: Maybe we could push for an amendment to the Constitution requiring a personal response to “I, Pencil” from every “feddle gummint” bureaucrap and elected official before allowing them to suck at the public teat. Perhaps then we’d be able to weed a few out who have less understanding of free market principles than a head of cabbage does. Perhaps. (I suspect most would simply crib from a Cliff Notes dumbing down of the already simple little didactic story.)

“Money, Money, Money… it’s a rich man’s world…”

Yeh, yeh. Well, it’s not “a rich man’s world” as far as I’m concerned. America’s Third World County has a different model of “rich” than the media, I’m sure, but even at that, very few of our “rich” have a disproportionate impact on our daily lives here*, which is why I’ve not posted much here about the Wall Street/banking brouhaha.

One thing I’ve been waiting for has finally peeped its head over the wall of silence, though. Michelle Malkin is flagging the elephant in the boardrooms: the impact of alien invaders on the banking bust of 08.

Regional reports across the country have decried the subprime meltdown’s impact on illegal immigrant “victims.” A July report showed that in seven of the 10 metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates, Hispanics represented at least one-third of the population; in two of those areas – Merced and Salinas-Monterey, Calif. – Hispanics comprised half the population. The amnesty-promoting National Council of La Raza and its Development Fund have received millions in federal funds to “counsel” their constituents on obtaining mortgages with little to no money down; the group almost succeeded in attaching a $10 million earmark for itself in one of the housing bills past this spring.

For the last five years, I’ve reported on the rapidly expanding illegal alien home loan racket. The top banks clamoring for their handouts as their profits plummet, led by Wachovia and Bank of America, launched aggressive campaigns to woo illegal alien homebuyers.

(See the article for links embedded in it.)

Yep. On top of the billions upon billions of dollars siphoned off our economy in remittance money sent back to Mexico, the impact on health and education services of 20million alien invaders, the resurgence of diseases once virtually eliminated in the U.S. and a alien invader crime wave that annually surpasses in deaths the cumulative totals of servicemen killed in both Iraq and Afganistan from all causes, we have alien invaders defaulting on subprime loans.

And these loan defaults are the fault of politicians and bureaucrats of both parties dragging their heels over (or engaging in deliberate sabotage of) enforcement of already existing immigration law, compelling loans to subprime markets–including illegal aliens–and failing to oversee the quasi-governmental bodies the politicians are responsible for creating.

To his (very minimal) credit, McCain did at least push for stronger oversight of Fannie and Freddie, though he has done nothing to stem the tide of alien invaders. The Obamassiah, of course, was too busy accepting “pocket lining” from Freddie and Fannie lobbyists to look into what those organs were doing up his posterior.

So, just remember when The One attacks his opponents on the economy, he is the number two piggie at the trough sucking up money from the slop that started the cascade of failures on Wall Street.

But neither candidate–The Obamassiah or Juan Mexicain–have clean hands on the alien invader issue, although Juan has lately come around to admitting we need serious border/immigration enforcement before we can even consider any other steps to address the alien invader problems.

I just hope it’s more than electioneering bushwah.

*There is one family that does still exercise disproportionate power in the county, because they own a small telco that serves several communities comprising a majority of the population. Fortunately, cable providers and cell phone use are cutting their influence down to size.

Obama: Teleprompter at Debate?

Just a quick Q: anyone making book on how Obama’ll do debating McCain without his blankie?

Perspiring minds wanna know don’t give a flip.

(Aside: I really don’t get the “Obama=great orator” meme. I’ve seen a couple of his “read the teleprompter” gigs and while standards for political speeches are in the toilet in general, how does merely–barely–competent equate with great oration? Is society so utterly debased that The Obamassiah’s oratory skillset truly passes for “great” nowadays? If so, we are doomed no matter what our economy is like or who is elected to public office, because we as a people have become too stupid for anything but our own collective Darwin Award.)

Biden Gaffes Cribbed from Fox

Yeh, yeh: I stole the list from Fox News–stole it, I tell you! (Cos I don’t feel like following Bobblehead Joe around to collect ’em myself, that’s why.)

While everyspore and its maiden aunt in the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind has been spending millions of man uh, person, um, spore hours spinning stories about how dumb that Northern lights redneck chick on the Repug ticket is, Bobblehead Joe has been gong about his business of providing innumerable humorous-were-he-not-a-major-party-veep-candidate schtiks for the public’s amusement:

And he runs the gamut of every kind of gaffe from “Stand up, Chuck” to a guy in a wheelchair to citing to another bobblehead (Katie the Couric-Couric bird) President Franklin Roosevelt’s television speech after the stock market crash of 1929 (when there was no broadcast TV and Roosevelt was still Governor of NY). In between he managed to

*Condemn the Obama ad ridiculing McCain’s computer use (a direct slap at his prison torture wounds)… until slapped down by Obama and gigged to say making fun of McCain’s disabilities is hunky dory.

*Proclaim on video, “We’re not supporting any coal here in America,” and “No coal plants here in America,” before–again–being slapped down by his field boss (right before The One turned around and lied about the McCain ad that accurately portrayed Biden’s statements).

*Admitted that he is a poorer choice than Hillary would have been (still not contradicted by The Obamassiah, who is probably convinced of that truth)

*Forgotten about a certain Tea Party and pushed the idea that paying more taxes is a patriotic duty

But wait! There’s more!

*Renamed The One, “Barack America” (Maybe something’s in the works we don’t know about, though)

*Proved his Defense creds when he demonstrated a complete lack of knowlege of military structure (Hint, Joe: a battalion is not a brigade.

And of course, there’re still more, but I’m bored now. What exactly qualiies Biden to be a heartbeat away from the presidency of a (maybe) ex-smoker like The Obamassiah? Mr. Plagiarism’s original thought processes? His long record of being wrong on every single foreign policy issue of the past 30 years or so? His ability to be comic relief for the serious Marxist?

Ummm, yep. I think that sums it up. Qualified to be the brunt of every late-night comedian’s jokes, and that’s about all Joe Bobblehead is qualified for.

*feh* I know six people in my lil one-horse town who’re better qualified than Biden. And all of them are better qualified than Obama as well.

Buh-bye, Joe!

Expose Yet Another Obama Lie

Frankly, I’ve stopped keeping track of all the times the Obama campaign has labeled a McCain ad that simply cites verifiable fact as a “dishonorable lie”. BTW, by “verifiable fact” I mean on-the-record votes and/or statements by Obama or Biden or videographic evidence (like that below) that does not–as the Obamabots are wont to do (can anyone say “Charlie Gibson” or, well, “Obama”?)–take mini-bites out of context in order to manufacure a lie. You judge for yourself: what does Joe Biden say below?

The McCain camp interpreted Biden’s clear statements, “We’re not supporting any coal here in America,” [emphasis added] and “No coal plants here in America,” to mean, “We’re not supporting any coal here in America,” and “No coal plants here in America,” and Obama responded with,

This is yet another false attack from a dishonorable campaign. Senator McCain knows that Senator Obama and Senator Biden support clean coal technology. Senator Biden’s point is that China is building coal plants with outdated technology every day, and the United States needs to lead by developing clean coal technologies.

Of course, Obamabots can explain the clear and unequivocal discrepancy. After all, in Obamaspeak, “clean coal technology” obviously means, “No coal plants here in America,” right?

More lies and deception from Obama labeling truth in advertising as… lies and deception.

Professing lies to be truth and truth to be lies, calling evil good and good evil: can here be any better description of evil itself?

Spread the truth. Go viral with this, if you will. And someone, please, anyone with the time and intestinal fortitude to stomach this stuff, keep track of the number of times Obama and his minions call the truth a lie and their lies truth. I have literally never seen such massive brazen lying outside of open memebrs of the Mass Media Poepeople Hivemind before now. The only things I can think of that come close to Obama’s Potemkin Village world would be a collection of all the examples of Hitler and Goebbels implementing The Big Lie, “lies so ‘colossal’ that no one would believe that someone ‘could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously'”*.

And no, before someone who’s woefully subliterate reads the sentence above and accuses me of calling The Obamassiah “Hitler,” please re-read that statement. I did no such thing. All I did was note an uncanny similarity to a particular propaganda technique exercised by Hitler and Goebbels. Especially significant is their pattern of accusing opponents of lying–especially when their opponents spoke easily-verifiable, truthful fact… which is the specifically Hitlerian use of the Big Lie the Obama campaign–including The One himself, does time and time again. (Goebbels’ use was usually to tell an outrageous lie to counter a truth, ofen doing so in an anticipatory fashion, more than simply accuse a truthful speaker of lying–and this, of course, is something Obama himself often does–e.g., attempting to stampede senior citizens with outrageous lies about McCain’s Social security policies.)

Spread this truth: The Obamassiah and his minions only lie when their lips move, when they breathe and when they demonstrate their uncanny ability to make colonic reverse peristalsis appear to be speech.

h.t. on the video stuff to Powerline.

READ IT!

Sure, it’s one of those terrible things the “mass man” avoids like leprosy (a BOOK! EVIL–Requires… THINKING *gag*), but those who don’t read it will be doomed to suffer the consequences of not knowing why they’re being inundated by the evil of avoidable stupidity.

Ortega y Gasset’s “Revolt of the Masses“.

No excuses. If you were completely illiterate, you’d not be reading this exhortation to read the thing. *heh* It won’t even cost you a dime to read, since the whole thing’s posted online in a very accessible translation. (Heck, even though it is Ortega y Gasset, I’m not willing to brush off my now–thankfully!–rusty Spanish skills to read it, since I’m boycotting the language as a result of the massive Spanish-speaking, Mexican government sponsored, alien invasion of this country.)

All it will cost you is time and effort. Amittedly, Ortega y Gasset can be a dense read at times. Dense in terms of concepts that must be actually thought about to be understood and/or argued with.

And if you do read the book, you will argue with Ortega y Gasset at times. If you are careful in your argument, you will usually only lose gracefully. *heh*

Just read Revolt of the Masses“. Do it for your grandchildren.

Ortega y Gasset’s thoughts may be disturbing to the faux hyper-egalitarian (really illegitimate manipulative elitist dishonestly masquerading as egalitarian), leftist mentality that now permeates our society, but only–really–because it reveals its vacuity:

“…the man we are now analysing accustoms himself not to appeal from his own to any authority outside him. He is satisfied with himself exactly as he is. Ingenuously, without any need of being vain, as the most natural thing in the world, he will tend to consider and affirm as good everything he finds within himself: opinions, appetites, preferences, tastes. Why not, if, as we have seen, nothing and nobody force him to realise that he is a second-class man, subject to many limitations, incapable of creating or conserving that very organisation which gives his life the fullness and contentedness on which he bases this assertion of his personality? “

Reading Ortega y Gasset again reminds me of James Burnham’s view of modern faux liberalism (as opposed to truly liberal precepts)

“Liberalism is a philosophy of consolation for Western Civilization as it commits suicide.”

The two are not in ful agreement, but each sees and describes significant aspects of our sick, sick society.

Racist Lefties

The decades-long cynical use of the racism stick by lefties to both promote racial divide and keep blacks on the welfare plantation, strictly for the political gain of the Left, has become more openly strident and destructive as the presidential race has progressed. As more and more lefty politicians *spit* like Kansas’s Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and more and more lefty political cheerleaders in publications like Time (the weekly fiction magazine) and outlets like CNN (and, well, the rest of the Hivemind aparatus) spout the “Only racism can explain an Obama defeat” meme, the blatant racism of the left becomes more and more apparent.

Look, as Dennis Prager points out, the poll that has brought about the recent epidemic of vapors among Hivemind commenters and lefty pols indicates that “a fairly significant percentage of Democrats and independents may not vote for Sen. Barack Obama because of his race.” (Prager also points out that the poll doesn’t actually indicate that, but that, of course, makes no difference to reality-based fantsists any more than the poor design of the poll does).

Hello, dumbasses! IF the poll indicates racism as a factor against The One, then it indicates racism in your own camp! And, of course, the weeping (crocodile tears, no doubt) and wailing and gnashing of teeth over the supposition that only racism can defeat The One is simply an attempt to play the race card to attempt guilting the gullible into voting for The Obamassiah.

Disgusting. Especially since The One is really no more “black” than 80% or more of the rest of America. At most, he’s just another Oreo Marxist playing at racial and social divide to gain personal power.

If all the lefty prepping of the plantation inhabitants for rioting at an Obamassiah loss pays off for them, maybe “white” America should all start prepping for CCW licenses. *sigh* Can anyone say, “Inciting race wars”?

This is definitely uncool, folks.

Add to this the “anything goes” disregard for anything approaching truth at every level–from “astroturfing” amid the Dhimmicrappic Underpants left wingnuts/Daily KOSsacks (remember” “righty-tighty/lefty-loosey”?–left wingnuts are all loosed from reality) all the way to the Obamassiah’s own pronouncements (one among many that include his lying accusations that McCain lies about The One’s record *sigh*), and the political landscape in these DYSunited States is looking a bit grim.

(Oh, there’s much, much more. I have a pretty strong stomach, but every single one of the Obama ads I have seen has shaded from lies that are subtle distortions of the truth to outright, blatant libel. Every. Single. One. Makes even my stomach roil in protest. There is a place in hell–Dante’s eighth circle or ninth? Or dual residency?–for such as this.)

No, dumbass, racist lefties, if Obama goes down in the election, it’ll be because–mirabile dictu!–the electorate turns out to be not quite as stupid and venal as I sincerely believe it to be. I hope I’m wrong, for a change, about the level of stupidity of the American voter. (Now, that’s hope and change for the better!)

UPDATE: Even Cal Thomas is not immune to the racist brainwashing bushwah from the left,

America very much likes the idea of a person of color becoming president, if for no other reason than to serve as partial propitiation for our individual and collective sins against blacks.

If it is true that “America” seeks propitiation for “partial propitiation for our individual and collective sins against blacks” then I am not a part of that America. Period. I have never been a part individually OR collectively of any “sins against blacks” and I repudiate in the strongest erms possible ANY imputation of such wrongdoing against me. Such stupidity is not something I have ever or will ever countenance. Skin color makes no difference to me in my treatment of others, nor has it ever. Yes, I do recognize some very real and specific cultural problems blacks inflict upon themselves, as well as some past wrongs by society in which I did not participate in any way, shape, fashion or form. Neither are my fault or responsibility, and imuting some sense of guilt to me for wrongs perpetrated upon blacks by themselves and others is shameful, wrong and utterly without basis.

And I suspect a lot of other people like me, who have never wron ged a black person because of the color of their skin feel exactly the same way. Stop blaming US for the problems of an entire sector of society.

(BTW, yes, I did have some ancestors who fought for their Constitutional rights. I also had some ancestors who fou ght for the North, as well. Neither were truly fighting to end slavery, and in fact those who fought for the North were simply fighting for a slavery with more “plausible deniability”–and so neither get much credit for the eventual extension of full civil rights to all citizens.)

“Are You Too Stupid to Vote?”

That’s a question I’d like you to consider asking folks between now and November 4 (and any time an election approaches). Sure, you may offend some folks, but if so, they’ve just proven themselves Too Stupid to Vote. After all, it’s only a question, right? *heh*

Follow that question up with a basic civics quiz, such as this one (just copy the thing if you want. What’re they gonna do? Sue you for spreading civics awareness? *feh*). If they can’t pass with such gimme questions as these, then they don’t deserve the franchise.

1. What was the source of the following phrase: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people?”

The speech: “I Have a Dream”

Declaration of Independence

U.S. Constitution

Gettysburg Address

2. What is the main reason the Pilgrims and Puritans came to America?

To practice their religion freely

To make more money and live a better life

To build a democratic government

To expand the lands controlled by the king of England

3. Many people opposed ratification of the Constitution without a bill of rights because they…

Were afraid the states would be too powerful without a bill of rights

Thought that a bill of rights would strengthen the President’s power

Did not want the national government to have an army

Feared that the new national government would deny people their rights

4. The document that contains the basic rules used to run the United States government is…

The Declaration of Independence

Magna Carta

The Mayflower Compact

The Constitution

5. What is the purpose of the Bill of Rights?

To say how much Americans should pay in taxes

To protect freedoms like freedom of speech

To describe the jobs of the President and Congress

To make Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States

6. Who is widely considered to be the “Father of the Constitution?”

George Washington

Thomas Jefferson

Benjamin Franklin

James Madison

7. What is the President’s role in making laws?

The President can rewrite some parts of the Constitution

The President can declare laws unconstitutional

The President can sign congressional bills into law

The President can remove members of Congress from office

8. What are the three parts of the federal (national) government of the United States?

Republican, Democrat and Independent

Legislative, executive and judicial

Local, state and federal

State, national and international

9. According to the Constitution, a person must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible to become president. Name one of these requirements.

Must be at least 34 years of age

Must have voted in the last three federal elections

Must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years

Must be a member of a major political party

10. How many Representatives are there in Congress?

420

425

430

435

11. America declared independence from what country during the Revolutionary War?

France

England

Spain

Canada

12. How many amendments are there to the Constitution?

10

14

27

30

13. And finally, for the 13th question — what is the significance of the number 13 in U.S. History?

It is the official “lucky” number

There were 13 Founding Fathers

The original 13 colonies

There are 13 amendments in the Bill of Rights

I mean, seriously now! It’s a flippin’ multiple choice gimme quiz. Pass it for the franchise? Heck, I’m of the opinion that if someone doesn’t at least know everything on this lil simpleton (dumbed down for the enstupiated) quiz then they shouldn’t even be a citizen, let alone be allowed to vote…

Heck, face it. Most American citizens who now possess the right to vote don’t know the fundamentals of our government structure, our history or anything genuine about current events (most still getting their information from the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind propaganda machine).

Too stupid to be allowed to vote, and yet it is this mass of stupid people who will elect the congresscritters and administration that will exercise power.

Scary.

Pundits exercise their skills of blowhardery, bloviating about “the wisdom of the people” and whatnot, but as someone *cough* has wisely said,

“In a democracy (”rule by mob”), those who refuse to learn from history are in the majority and dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance.”-third world county’s corollary to Santayana’s Axiom

Doomed?

“The least of these… “

Bear with me here, OK?

Matthew 25:33-40
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Barack Obama, The Obamassiah, The One, has badly paraphrased a small excerpt of Matthew 25:33-40 as a stirring piece of blowhardery to ramp up the emotions of his followers. But as a donor to Dinesh D’Souza’s George Obama Compassion Fund has said,

“When Obama said that not taking care of the least of our brothers is our greatest moral failure, who knew that he was talking literally about the least of his brothers?”

That’s right. Barack Obama, the Great Compassionate One, is more than willing to take YOUR money and give it to other folks who have not earned it. To him, that’s true compassion. His own half-brother, though? The one living in Kenya on one dollar a month? Not one thin dime of the $4,000,000 or so Barack Obama made last year to help his own brother–a brother whom he met in 2006 and of whose circumstances he is well aware.

So just remember when you hear Barack Hussein Obama talk about compassion for “the least of these” he is lying through his teeth about compassion, for he doesn’t have one ounce of compassion for his own brother.

The first sentence of the scripture quoted above mentions Barack Hussein Obama’s class: goat.
