Actually, the history of David Mamet is one of blatant liberalism, Struan…Mr. Mamet recently within the last few years stood up and proclaimed himself a former reformed liberal and now an outright conservative after watching the hypocrisy and lies of the left he so firmly believed in for these many decades…he has, like so many before him, discovered the left lives in a world of unworkable theories that never truly pan out in historical reality. And he decided to tell them so…the left, of course, if not disappointed has collectively chosen to ignore Mr. Mamet’s conversion and self-discovery…at least I’ve never heard anyone of note comment on his new found realization…..sadly, those true believers will never get it….nor in their own ignorance, will they even acknowledge one of their own has left them to founder on alone…..k
Excellent summation. . .
I can see I’m going to have to denote my cynical, acidic, old school Chicago sarcasm (/s/) in the future. Doesn’t always translate well in this comm medium.
Great monograph by this Mamet guy. Great find, must read. This Jewish boy from Chicago has got a future in writing I’d say.
Haha, David Mamet is quite an accomplished playwright.
