Mr Vidal lays it out
“There is not one human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.”
- Gore Vidal
I've long been a fan of Gore Vidal's writing, having been fortunate enough to be thoroughly confused by his marvellous Myra Breckinridge at a tender age. City Pages have posted a great interview with Vidal, focusing on the corporatisation of America and the absence of any real politics in the American political system. Vidal seems to be one the few sane voices of dissent today, in an increasingly bewildering world.
Many thanks to Steven Lagavulin over at deconsumption for the link.
