It's a hard decision, to adjudicate need. Heartless to offer nothing. Wasteful to give too much, foolish to give to the merely lazy. Not sure there is a winning formula here..
I wanted to upload a brief excerpt from the episode, The Huddled Masses, where Cooke talks about a typical day in the life of a NYC Democrat politician. The clip is only 3:23 long but it's hitting the copyright problem. How did you get around that for this clip? Thanks in advance.
Forgotten peoples... like American Citizens who have been told - we - must take a backseat to Illegals, refugees, H1Bs and just about everyone else in the world... our politicians say “Just PAY your taxes and SHUT UP!” (And don’t worry about the $60K Of Debt we’ve run up in your name)
A true prophet from 1973. If you look at our current situation in America, you can see all the signs of decay. We are quickly becoming a third world country.
Americans are always arguing over questions of right and wrong. Decline is possible but not inevitable. Things may have been better in the past in some ways but the seeds of our problems were planted long ago. They didn't just spring up from nowhere. The breakdown of the african american family has its roots in the seperation of black babies from their mothers, for example.
@watayapupuya you should stop believing everything you hear on CBS, NBC, PBS and the New York Times. Learn to critically think and stop with the tired left-wing platitudes.
"Liberty is the luxury of self-discipline."
Wow. And Mr. Cooke could see this coming as far back as 1973? Prophetic words.
what a cultured, foresighted man.
Cooke saw it coming!
"Big Daddy" should provide, for the people who need it, and cut it off when they have enough.
A shame on people who abuse the system.

even more timely now than when originally filmed.
And decadence is winning. 2021.
Perhaps it only seems this way if you pay close attention to the news. I suggest a "news diet" for 2021... ^_^
I have the book (yes there's a companion book to the tv series, found it in a yard sale) and it's absolutely worth a read!

No idea. All I know is the BBC preventing the wider dissemination of these documentaries is borderline criminal.

@watayapupuya "the first sign a man has no argument is when he begins to insult" :)
Powerful insight from *36 years ago*... wisely put.

What section in which episode is this from?
Ep. 13, toward the end.

Alistair is talking about 1973 while it really does define US in present time. sad.
Yikes. And they didn't even have reality TV in 1973.

Wow. Is that prophetic or what???? The decadence won - as evidenced by passage of "Gay rights" in the military.
Whaaaaaaaaaat!!!
