Eno does more than write nice ambient music

Article by Brian Eno in Time:

Europeans have always looked at America with a mixture of fascination and puzzlement, and now, increasingly, disbelief. How is it that a country that prides itself on its economic success could have so many very poor people? How is it that a country so insistent on the rule of law should seek to exempt itself from international agreements? And how is it that the world's beacon of democracy can have elections dominated by wealthy special interest groups? For me, the question has become: "How can a country that has produced so much cultural and economic wealth act so dumb?"

His analysis of what has happened to the Left in this country (i.e., the move toward "cultural" progression/self-involvement vs. political involvement) is absolutely right on.
