Mille grazie. ;-) I was thinking a lot today about Bush's speech to the nation on Thursday night. I thought it was very very well done. He'd mastered the subjects at hand (and there are many) and spoke extemporaneously in a fluent manner. The one thing that struck me was his use of the word "evil", which was repeated twelve times during the course of the press conference in various forms (ie. "evildoer', "the evil one"). This appears to come from his Southern Baptist religious upbringing and, as a Baptist myself, I'm familiar with, and comfortable with, that language. i'm wondering, though, how those here who are not Christian or who may be agnostic, atheist, etc, feel about this kind of language.
