( Video ) - The Stick It Speech

I was lucky enough to come across a video clip of James Spader’s character, Alan Shore, in the hit T.V. show Boston Legal.

James, of course, was talking to a fictional jury, but he’s really talking to every American.

In his closing arguments he gives a 3+ minute tirade on a topic that is now close to my heart, and should be to yours too: the apathy of the majority of the people in this world in the face of continual loss of liberty.

Never was the case for democracy so articulately and compellingly — and entertainingly — distilled into an argument that lasts just a few minutes.
