The answer to your question about Hollywood is yes, and as every child over the age of 8 knows, it’s done for money.
But isn’t America’s business that of ruining America for money?
Are oil and automobile people ruining America for money? Are computer mischief-makers ruining America for money? Are toxic waste makers ruining America for money? Of course they are. Why not? We got it from the Indians for nothing.
Isn’t it everyone’s right to try his hand at ruining America for money?

The Times adds to the confusion by striking a pose of profundity while discussing questions that have obvious answers.
