Michael Anton asks, "Has Hollywood created a demand for depravity or merely responded to one that already exists in the hearts of people?" ("When Lefty Met Righty . . . , Or, Sleepless in Hollywood," Mar. 11).
The answer, I think, is that people have both the capacity for the lowest de- pravity and an incredible capacity for decency, courage, and nobility.
Liberalism (represented well by Hollywood) has been appealing to the baser instincts of the population for the past 30 years, while at the same time ridiculing anything decent and good.
