However, don't expect a cathartic payoff, because there is little emotional messiness in this largely intellectual exercise. |
In some ways I think there are great attractions of messiness, in the sense of all sorts of people being involved with foreign policy. |
But we preach a hope that recognizes the messiness, the graced muck and mud, that are a part of life and creation. |
Forget the skin drying messiness of foams and lathery gels and the nicks, cuts, shave bumps and irritation. |
Physical touch, affection, and the messiness of caring for an uncoordinated person did not come easily. |
By avoiding the messiness of debate that a real democracy requires, we have given license to the excesses we now bemoan. |
