yah. but i'm not sure lifealert counts in this case.
Love the name. I'm guessing you're not the species I'm about to post about at all, but anyway...
Alright, time for a vocabulary word. Somatic... 'Somatic', ladies and gentlemen. Body oriented or of the body, from 'soma' meaning main body, common usage may be as opposed to cerebral. Now to use it in a sentence...
Your garden variety liberal values the somatic when per chance it suits him/her and seldom otherwise. Like gun rights don't matter because guns kill people and the G can take care of our physical wellbeing. Also, all sapient lives are intrinsically precious and of in-commutable value without regard to practical concerns or higher realities thereof. Very cerebral and modern - quite fashionable.
But when we have chance to elect a dude in his 70's, the body and any potential faults it might have were it not a top-notch combat chassis of little more vintage than our current legacy fighter planes is supposed to mean something. Fine! I like my soma quite as well as whatever one sits in the oval office, so if you want a young president, I want to keep more than 68% of my paycheck and be able to defend myself lest I become decrepit and unfit for public service myself.
