Its not an indictment of this media; without this media, no one would have seen it, except a handful of people in Stockholm. The low view count is an

indictment of our educational system, which leaves people completely untutored in the idea of moral responsibility, as well as unable to concentrate and understand complex language such as Pinter uses, or the historical context of what he discusses.

This may've been his most powerful performance. It certainly stands proudly alongside his most brilliant pieces of work.

Go to the Nobel Prize web site for a clear audio/video of this.

In that a person has to dig through "social pablum" and "mind-numbing entertainment" to even find something of such...substance...is very telling. Very telling of the "dumbing-down" of contemporary society and the hegemonic agenda that, ultimately, will lead us all from liberty and independence to control and bondage... The plan of the "invisible hand" is comming to fruition as men, such as Harold Pinter, become more-rare and, ultimately, extinct.

Or a not so shocking indictment of the Nobel Prize Committee.

@lysel3 God bless you my dear.

Anyone explaining that without lying or twisting the truth would have to be...

there's just no way of doing so. Allende nationalised Chilen copper, to the loss of USA interests and was toppled because he was a threat to that curious brand of Neofeudalism that Chile still today call democracy.

Chile has been Coca-colonised beyond description and recovery. It's not about patriotsm for me though I'm chilean. it is about our dehumanisation.
