Emotional Distance
I spend so much effort attempting to avoid the appearance of vulnerability that I rarely acknowledge how I feel about people.

A core plank in the Democratic critique of the Bush/Cheney civil liberties assault was the notion that the President could do whatever he wants, in secret and with no checks, to anyone he accuses without trial of being a Terrorist – even including eavesdropping on their communications or detaining them without due...
