Yeah, it probably comes down to that whole idea that if we were more like them or if we were all the same, everything would be great. That whole "citizen of the world" mentality that former Canadian PM Trudeau (I think?) started.
Most of my flist who have been leaving all the fangirly comments about him, I'm not too sure whether they care about the deeper issues (though who knows? Maybe they do), I think it's more the cult of celebrity.
And apparently he's a gifted orator, though I never got that from him, to be honest.
Heh, me neither. I've always thought he sounds rather stilted and robotic.
