Stunnung, psychological. Her best so far.

Still, once and a while, a glaring inaccuracy or gap in her world vision as in the line, “No one is born a tramp.” when, at least in the United States, a large percentage of our homeless population IS children. That line appears to put personal responsibility on the systemic and societal failing that is poverty and homelessness.
