Is it just me? What we call entertainment has, over the last thirty years, devolved into an often voyeuristic parade of extreme violence programming. Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Highlander, even Seinfeld sport an a-morality that is the backdrop to a political and social reality that values the Psychopath and the vigilante more than the compassionate and the kind. Mafioso like John Gotti in the 90's became fashion plate mobsters. Today the heartless have grabbed power in our politics and in business. Patricia Pearson is an award winning journalist and author and she's my guest on this episode of Not That Kind Of Rabbi, this time to talk about the dark side of our cultural moment.
