The mantra.
Oh, yes. If it's tax cuts, it's a policy statement. If it's women's reproductive health, it's a "mantra". Thank you for clearing that up.
If you didn't want to talk about bipolar disease, you shouldn't have brought it up. Simple "mental illness" will do. I love the little star turn: "I hereby tell the world that I am suffering more than you, but I don't wear a hair shirt." Uh huh.
On the other hand, I understand about not exposing the medical condition of a family member who may still be living.
