  • On television and in the movies, crimes are always solved. Nothing is left uncertain. By the end, the viewer knows whodunit.

Is it good or bad for the Republicans? Is it good or bad for Jews, or good or bad for blacks, or is it good or bad for women? Is it good or bad for men? Is it good or bad for gays? That's the way people think about issues today. There is very little discussion of enduring principles.
