Mark: Come on, give us a smile- you can do it! That's it...that's it...here it comes! Chase: And you know why we're in the mess we're in today? Clinton! Clinton and his legacy! Mark: Still with the unyielding anger! What's that all about, Chase? The right wing has had a complete monopoly on power for four years now! We're living in a world of your making, under policies of your choosing. Why aren't you happier? Why are you angrier than ever? Chase: Well... Mark: I'll tell you why. Because radicals can only survive when fear replaces reason, so they need enemies, real or imagined. As an old lefty, I know. I was as angry as they come. But being an ideologue robs you of critical thinking. I miss it. Which is why I find myself drifting back into the mainstream. Chase: The treasonous mainstream! Mark: Oh, right. Sorry, I always forget what it's called.
