- “In Liverpool, [Moore] paused to contemplate the epicenters of evil in the modern world: “It’s all part of the same ball of wax, right? The oil companies, Israel, Halliburton.” (David Brooks in the New York Times, June 26. 2004)
From the Brooks article:
Before a delighted Cambridge crowd, Moore reflected on the tragedy of human existence: "You're stuck with being
connected to this country of mine, which is known for
bringing sadness and misery to places around the globe." In
Liverpool, he paused to contemplate the epicenters of evil
in the modern world: "It's all part of the same ball of
wax, right? The oil companies, Israel, Halliburton."
Where's the actual quote? Brooks writes, "In Liverpool, he paused to contemplate the epicenters of evil in the modern world:..." What did Moore say other than, "It's all the same ball of wax, right?"?
Where's the rest? Sure, you can simply state something like, "Moore says oil companies, Israel and Haliburton are evil", but where's the complet context and did he actually say it or is that just the meaning you walked away with because you loath Moore and think it sounds like something he would say?
