Ugh. Frankly, that bot psychotherapist was more fun that this yokel...
My mental responses to the response will be in the form of (parenthesised italics)...
Your question was:
Is it still legal for the King of Belgium to snort powdered walnuts during Christmas?
Answer:
It is a tough one, there's no question. People are doing that all over town. They do it at the State Department. They do it in my office. I do it. (huzzah!) Sometimes I understate for emphasis. (which means...what...you do it more than you say here?) We live in a dangerous and untidy world, this is not an easy time for the world. Goodness. (yep. walnuts in the noggin', ain't no better way to chase the worries away) I shouldn't say I don't think so, although that's what I think. What I should say is that I haven't thought about that carefully. I should do some research and see if I think it might be in need of an update. But I doubt that I'll do it.
Determining something as to its inevitability when your interest is to try to have it not be inevitable is a difficult thing to do. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know.
I've always, I think, characterized it as a relationship that is multi-faceted and is evolving. And that's not inaccurate from a grammatical standpoint, or from a semantic standpoint. There are people being killed in the region. (though I must note, the link between snorting walnuts and unprovoked squirrel attacks on humans have yet to be fully comprehended) Well, one has to be hopeful. Certainly if you're not attentive and not trying to help the situation it's likely it could get worse. If you are attentive and trying to help it it is not necessarily clear that you'll be able to solve it.
It is something that is of deep concern to all of us in the United States and across the globe. I guess anything's possible. I can't validate it.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
