My experience has been quite the opposite with her. She always seems normal, intelligent, and all too reasonable. You might have watched her more often than I have, though. I find her English to be the most disturbing thing of all. Seh calmly says things like:
Within the context of a society that we perceive -- now we can talk about reality, and I would like to talk about reality sometime, authentic reality, inauthentic reality, and what we have to accept of what we see -- but our perception of it is that it hovers often between the possibility of disaster and the potentiality for imaginatively responding to men's needs. There's a very strange conservative strain that goes through a lot of New Left, collegiate protests that I find very intriguing because it harkens back to a lot of the old virtues, to the fulfillment of original ideas. And it's also a very unique American experience. It's such a great adventure. If the experiment in human living doesn't work in this country, in this age, it's not going to work anywhere.That's insane talk. But in the "context" of a commencement speech on an elite college campus, it comes across as being quite reasonable.
