...have agency, and so they are poor because they are lazy. Because adults are not so obviously innocent and we assume they have the power to overcome their problems, we despise them for "choosing" to stay poor. We dislike them because they are dirty, not recognizing that Au Bon Pain will not let them use the bathroom. But if they are well groomed, we dislike them too, because they obviously could get a job if they wanted to. Thus, for adults, we often inflate the extent to which they can use their individual agency to overcome structural social barriers. Kids...
...finance reform. But it also went long and deep into how he piled up demerits at the U.S. Naval Academy and lost several planes on training runs. It raked over his hard-partying past, his affair that destroyed his first marriage, and his second wife's onetime addiction to pain-killers.

Whereas some actors employ pathos and ethos to panhandle Oscar gold, Gibson aims straight for the gut, which goes to show that even metal buckles at a de-entrailed man's blood-curdling cry for freedom...
...legal eagle by prime time, dial-a-dominatrix in this celluloid romp. She deliciously performs her duties on Porter's ex-partner and is even called upon to give Porter some gun-totin' lovin. As Pearl, she is Gibson's true foil in this movie, she likes to inflict pain as much as he likes to take it. Suffice it to say, it's celebrity death match made in heaven...
