My last post on this thread predates yours by some 56 hours. (Please note that every post contains and shows the date and time in which the writer published it. The date and the time appears on top of every post, toward the left.)

I only wish my statesmen, the president of my country (Brazil) included, would make their speeches without using the verb to be. If one of them ever succeeds in doing it, then I will vote for him.

I have not voted for any of them since 1989.
