They gathered around the living room TV and the media woman plugged a thumb drive into the digital port and brought the advertisement up: Smalls was dressed in a gray pin-striped suit, bankerish, but with a pale blue shirt open at the collar. He was in his Minnesota Senate office, with a hint of the American flag to his right, a couple of red and white stripes-not enough of a flag display to invite sarcasm, but it was there.

The scene unfolds as a group gathers in a living room, where a media representative prepares to present an advertisement featuring Smalls. He appears in a formal gray pin-striped suit complemented by a relaxed pale blue shirt, suggesting professionalism with a touch of approachability. The setting is Smalls' office in Minnesota, subtly adorned with a small American flag that adds to the patriotic tone without overwhelming the presentation.

Through this visual representation, Smalls aims to convey a blend of seriousness and accessibility, likely to resonate with voters. The careful arrangement of elements in the advertisement suggests a strategic effort to maintain a positive image, avoiding any hint of mockery while still making a statement about his identity and values as a candidate.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

The pollenless trees were genomed to repel bugs and birds; the stagnant air reeked of insecticide.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
