Re: Where are we?

Description: At the core of today's big issues, Deavere Smith says, is the question of justice.

Transcript: Well I mean I think there are many, obviously. The environment, war, poverty. I’d take just those three; but I suppose where I’d end up having to come forward, given, again, the limitations of my experience, the limitations of my lens, is that I’m always interested in justice. I’m always interested in what are we going to do when it isn’t fair? What are we gonna do? How are we gonna help the vulnerable? How are we gonna keep power in check? How are we gonna keep people from the grips of their own narcissism? How are we gonna do that? How are we gonna remind them that we live in this thing together, and part of our enterprise has to be about making this thing habitable?
