Isn't it a hoot listening to actors speak in the semi-formal, conventionalized prose of politics? They sound so tentative and awkward. It's kind of like watching a kid teeter around in adult shoes.

General lefty/globalist slant. Ignores religious beliefs and the fact that terrs are a middle class, even wealthy phenomenon.
