EXCERPT:
THOMAS: "Hey, look, '300'." But if we could use the word 'honorable' more often, think about the difference it will make. Then you'll have a legacy. With rule of left, the country in better shape, morally, structurally than we found. But as long as we're looking at our interests, or scoring points, or looking cute, or being on TV, or the greenhouse effect, or what editorials we're getting, especially the legal system. How do we maintain it? If you can't debate hard issues honestly with honor, with integrity, how do we keep a civil society?"
