Wasn't it all the Magats who got ugly whenever anyone else wore a mask? Apparently, only people violating the Constitution should wear them.

4. The conflict would be when someone says, "Write a song that sounds like it was written by Elton John." That's when the ethics turn "questionable". Similarly deep fakes.

You may talk about and promote your book for the rest of your life. Just read the room when you do so.

Welcome to the stylish side!
