Nyah, nyah

My button is bigger than your button.

   So much for courtesy and civility in international relations. The chief twit in the Oval Office has escalated (or is it stooped?) to an increasingly childish level in his taunting of those who disagree with anything he says or does.
   Now he's challenging the leader of North Korea over the size of the nuclear arsenals that each one has, even resorting to the size of his nuclear button.
   Size seems to be important to him, and that's a common issue for men who are basically insecure.
   The right of free speech enables anyone to say pretty much anything, but there are limits. The laws of libel provide consequences against someone who spreads false and malicious material against another, or to say things that endanger the peace.
   Perhaps it's time political leaders applied the same principle to what they say about leaders of other nations.
   It's one thing to start a fist fight on a street corner, but it's quite another to foment a war that kills many thousands or millions of others.
