absurdity apart current fact far general guilty hold life militant palpable saw social society
''I'' is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does.

absurd believe case central clearly conditions country entered home insult led legal longer original permits persons process public return several status work
The conditions that led to the original designation of TPS for these Central Americans were not such that persons could not return home in the first place, and there clearly is no such justification now several years later. Further, it is an insult to the American public to use the TPS process to give legal work status to persons who entered the US illegally as is the case with most of the Central Americans benefiting from the administration's action. It is absurd to believe that these persons who entered the US illegally are going to voluntarily return to their home country once their work permits are no longer valid.

absurd allow becomes best bit cannot central conducive cut environment exactly full garner happens intensity intimacy mystery narrative order pivotal remains reveals scene shot single sustained thus using
This scene is done using a single sustained mastershot in order to allow the actors the most conducive environment for intimacy and intensity and in order to best communicate what happens in the film's pivotal scene.

It remains more than a bit absurd to me that this scene would garner an R if shot exactly the same but from just the torso up but becomes an NC-17 because the mastershot reveals full bodies. Robert Lantos
