Oh for the days when legislators took their calling seriously ! Yes, in 1897 pi came this close (my thumb and forefinger are a millimeter apart) to being formally declared 3.2 in the Indiana legislature. That is until some pointy head blurred the line between ivory tower and state.
Who will ascend the bully pulpit today and declare that $19.95 should be officially rounded off to twenty bucks? Where is the pol who will buck the special interests to say that 5 guzzinta 19 about 4 times?
Who will protect us from the exact? Who will ward off the depredations of specificity? Who will rescue us from the icy seas of precision? Which one of the candidates today will stand up for almost , sort of , and kinda ?
Help us T.I. Record . . . you’re our only hope.
