The public would better understand possible/unfolding scenarios ... and would better trust their public authorities about this.
I heard him at the thing and then afterward at an after party, and I want it to be so revolutionary, as I enjoyed him very much in 2004, but I feel like it doesn't feel any less stumpy than other political speech-sayers.
