...error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.
Worked out. I keep forgetting to recharge the MP3 player. Watched the news.
I heard words to this effect on a talk station out of San Antonio that I received on the radio yesterday.
The speech last night was not written by the President. He practiced it over and over. They played parts of it to pollsters and focus groups.
The Democratic response was not given spontaneously by Sen. Webb. It was written for him. They could do this because they got a copy of the President's speech beforehand. It too was practiced and refined.
Part of the problem in this country is that what happened last night was not two human beings thinking and expressing their ideas, it was an act of political theatre. Planned, rehearsed, staged...
If a president again ever decides to submit his or her remarks in writing and forgo the speech I'll read it.
