Tempers flared. Pitchforks were shouldered. Plowshares beaten to swords. One oldtimer from a farming county had mounted a turreted ballista on a combine.

“You know, this conversation needn’t be difficult,” I replied. “I’m not as tone deaf as some politicians. Listening to the readers is something I do.”
The angry mob was placated and withdrew, leaving me to get to work.
