Also, ever thought that maybe their politics are a lot like ours. (which it is...and corrupted and out of touch with its people)

The guy is a hack Hollywood mediot...all of them should STFU.
Once he said the solution is "spiritual" I regretted reading any of what he said.

Hollywood hack eh?

I feel proud to be English, proud to be a Londoner (all right, an Essex boy), never more so than since being in exile, and I naturally began to wonder what would make young people destroy their communities.


But I can't, from my ivory tower in the Hollywood Hills, compete with the understandable yet futile rhetoric, describing the rioters as mindless

I think you need to look deeper into the "spiritual" thing.

But I know, as we all intuitively know, the solution is all around us and it isn't political, it is spiritual. Gandhi said: "Be the change you want to see in the world."

If we don't want our young people to tear apart our communities then don't let people in power tear apart the values that hold our communities together.

He's implying that we as people need to change if we want the world to change.
