i love fargo, i mean i am Minnesotan, but like, i have never seen or felt represented in media quite like fargo does. it has such a great midwestern set of ethics. you dont not get involved with crime because of high minded ideals like being right or good ... you dont get involved with crime ... because its just a lot of work. its messy, and you just dont want that kind of mess in your life. you do the right thing not because of some creed or religion, you do the right thing cause the people next to you matter. there is more to life than a little money. its a failure of character to not be true to yourself. if you are true to yourself, if you care about the people you love, you will be alright. it might suck, but you will be alright.
its just such a practical ethical framework, i just love it.
