I was about to defend him by saying "Well, who among us really think about it." Then I actually thought about it. A lot. For two things that don't actually really affect me as an individual in any way, I've put some good thought into both over the past decade.

So then I thought about him not thinking about it. I thought, "Well, if he really has thought about it and is dodging the question, then what does that say about his ability to judge even weightier issues? On the other hand, what if by some slim chance he's being 100% honest about not really thinking about the issues. Does he really think he has the chops to be among the top world leaders? I think if he thinks he does, that's kind of scary."

One way or another, there's a lot of thinking going on here. Or not much at all . . .
