"Is Capitalism Bankrupt?"
My 2012 Al Jazeera debate
I received two noted pieces of non-fan mail after Al Jazeera aired this debate on the merits of capitalism:
Good Morning,
You should wipe that smirk from your face. That is not a smile, it is a "I am immune" smirk.
Lucky you.
wipe it off
Jane
and
I saw your interview on Al Jazeera. You're quite the self-satisfied, close-minded, pompous, elitist jerk aren't you? Maybe in your next interview you could at least wipe that higher-than-thou smirk off your face.
I definitely plead guilty to smirking, but there is a crucial mitigating circumstance: The other guests were really funny! Watch the full video below to see for yourself.

After watching, all I can say is “wow”. You deserve a humanitarian award for participating in that debate and remaining as respectful as you were.
OF COURSE you smirked! You were the only grownup in the room with all those babbling urchins. Thank you for smirking. And keep it up!
