(Video from Boston Legal)
Boston Legal is one of my favorite TV shows. James Spader has created a classic character named Alan Shore, a lawyer who doesn't always play fair, but who fights for what he believes in. The show does a great job of integrating real life and real issues into their stories, and this clip is a classic example of that.
Alan Shore's secretary is on trial for not paying her taxes. She objects to what the government is doing and this is her way of protesting. In his closing argument, Shore addresses the current state of affairs in America and wonders why Americans aren't angrier. It's the kind of scene that makes you yell RIGHT ON out loud.
