  • Solid answers to serious questions. Thanks for posting.

  • Compelling for the listening & the learning: these masters of language and thought.

  • I quite enjoyed this. He was an education. Thanks for the post.

  • What a fantastic interview! Mailer rules! Great questions by Amis. 

  • I agreed with a great portion he said.

  • @jide1000

    who is infallible? He was courageous and smart and thats what good can be said about him. He was egotistical too but that probably fed his courage.

  • While it's difficult to agree with much of what he says, he's amazingly right ..and prescient..about corporate America and what is going to happen to the country when the depression hits. That's the one thing the Republicans just can't see...how bloody indoctrinated we are to the dictatorship of multinationals, despite being totally paranoid about the 'dictatorship' of the State.

  • @bapyou I was referring to conservatism coming naturally as a function of age, which is generally true. "Intelligence" does not necessarily follow the same path, but depending on how you define intelligence, it can be very overrated in terms of its practical value. Plenty of so-called intelligent people are clueless in matters of everyday practicality. Lastly, it's the liberals who are immoral, or amoral, generally. Disagreement aside, your civil and intelligent response is refreshing.

  • @gitchigoomi "As I got older, more intelligent, and naturally more conservative" A natural progression? I know plenty of doofus conservatives older than me.

    "There is nothing more pathetic than an aging liberal." Ohhhh ... I'd put an aging conservative who's lost all sense of proportion and morality right up there as well.
