David Mamet, one of the best screenwriters and playwrights working today in my opinion, shares some insights into human nature, and his transition on political views after many years as "brain-dead liberal" (his words).
Caution: some bad language.
I'm impressed that he wrote this essay, and that the Village Voice published it with a title like "Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal' " I assume the strength of his reputation carried it.
One of the curious reactions from adults who actually read the Bible is that it is full of amazingly imperfect people -- people just like me. The Bible puts little or no varnish on human flaws. And as David Mamet points out, the US Constitution arranges a government model on the assumptions of imperfect people running it.
