More From Ben Hecht

The movies are an eruption of trash that has lamed the american mind and retarded americans from becoming cultured people.
People Mind Eruption
Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

I grew up on network sitcoms. if those are gone when i'm 65 years old, i would never forgive myself for not stepping up to that plate, as often as possible. i'm already bummed out that dvds are dying off because, in my 20s, those were a huge thing.
