Wonder why "the sociability' of the issue is over blown here; American
President does not give in his whole person to the oath. Or, we ready to
extend this 'social' property to the telephone company that may well have
concieved their new commercial as yet, showing both the models: "Work and Life
go together."

Said's comments about the essence of America as being 'the most religious and
ideological country on earth" need our attention. When citizenship is driven
by certain moral assumptions despite their acclaimed excluion from the policy
and denial of without-rationality-matters will intensify the split between the
social and the private. Who would endure the loss of enlightenment, going in
one blow!
