Freedom is about having choices. Some even say about having real choices and some even believe that real choices ought to mean something elese than one between the terrible and the bad one can live while holding one's nose, but one between the good together with a good deal of golden means in between before one is forced to look into shades of greater and lesser evils for a "choice."

The great thing about U.S. democracy is that someone like Trump, a playboy addicted to beautiful models and golf, was able to defeat in the elections square and fair someone like Hillary Clinton, the Macbeth of Arkansas. Somewhat disconcerting is, however, that the choice has been so effectively narrowed down to these two.
