Today’s Moment is brought to you by Movies.

Brilliantly written and extremely acerbic rant on the different races, cultures, and classes in NYC. Taken from Spike Lee’s excellent, but not often talked about, film “25th Hour.” Starring Edward Norton, the always outstanding Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Rosario Dawson, Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, and Barry Pepper.
