I was a docent at the OMA for35 years. When giving tours, our method was to ask questions that would get viewers thinking about the content/style/color/technique of every art work. Landscapes were always a huge favorite, for two main reasons: 1) everybody could tell “what they were;” 2) there were no people in them. Swear to gawd, those were the two remarks made consistently. . .so, it appears we consistently annoy each other. . .
Now I wish I could remember where on YouTube, some one refered to the White House as Casa Blanca. Later heard that Biden had reentered the Paris Climate Accords. I so want to tell that commnentor, “We’ll always have Paris!”.
If you did, then we’d have to suffer not only the sanctimonious and supercilious Wise Ass On the Hill but also the even worse Wiser Rat on the Higher Hill….

Metaphysically accurate. The political solution is an amicable divorce, requiring a county-by-county vote.
