Just a few words on this rather extraordinary scene from "The West Wing". The video below shows the President, Jed Bartlett, after losing his secretary tragically, who has known Jed since high school. The entire episode centers on a crossroads as the fictional president is going through a lot of personal turmoil while losing someone he has loved and known for 40 years. He is also a strong Catholic, a believer in god.
Yet, with all that has gone on, the President, at the end of one of the toughest days of his life, has a talk with god.
Btw, you will hear the designation "feckless thug" in this clip. Allow me to define this so you won't be wondering about it.
feckless:
1. ineffective; incompetent; futile: feckless attempts to repair the plumbing.
2. having no sense of responsibility; indifferent; lazy. thug: a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer. One more thing, whatever conversation this may inspire, whether a defense of theism, smart ass remarks (plenty of those are expected) or some deeper introspective comments (I am hopeful for more then 2 of those variety), lets try not to throw rocks and/or feces at those you disagree with.
