“Responsibility I believe accrues
through privilege. People like you and me have an unbelievable amount of
privilege and therefore we have a huge amount of responsibility. We live in
free societies where we are not afraid of the police; we have extraordinary
wealth available to us by global standards. If you have those things, then you
have the kind of responsibility that a person does not have if he or she is slaving
seventy hours a week to put food on the table; a responsibility at the very
least to inform yourself about power. Beyond that, it is a question of whether
you believe in moral certainties or not.”
