Description

Professor Kenney-Wallace mostly turns her students loose on their host, with satisfying results, both intellectually and theatrically. AD: "Since the history of your country mandates that there should be the freedom to bear arms ... shouldn't there be an equal priority for the freedom to health care?" WFB: "No. "Why should there be? If it mandates your right to free speech does that mean it mandates your right to free abortions? They're unrelated." . . . EB: "Why can't you use compromise? Why do you have to use force?" WFB: "Because we want to look after you.... Who's going to say to North Korea day after tomorrow, 'You can't have a nuclear weapon.' Canada?" . . . KG: "Would it not be more advantageous to follow the lead of Canadians and be a little more socially responsible in your economic policy?" WFB: "Well, I think in certain respects that's absolutely true. For instance, in Canada there is no ban against using public money in schools or universities that are church-related. I think that's highly civilized."
