David Simon - Two Americas in One City

David Simon, creator of "The Wire," shows us a portrait of "the other America" - the America deeply affected by the war on drugs, a distrust of law enforcement, and mass incarceration, and discusses solutions to these problems.

    I aspire to be as well read, astute and knowledgeable as this guy is. He has so much clarity and depth on the issues he speaks on as well as being self aware and empathetic.

    The U.S lacks moral outrage. Instead, everything has been replaced with the binary of rage or unquestioning love. We haven't maintained the human quality to mediate our beliefs. Instead, we become polarized and jump at every shadow we see on the Internet.

    Guys like David Simon should be running the world cos they see it as it really is therefore can attempt to fix it, even thought they would be the first to admit... that’s a big ask

    "Journalism used to have a better effect on astonishing and outraging people when it was done well. And you'd get the right reaction from people. And I think the world itself is less inclined to outrage."

    Brilliant speech! I don't agree with everything he says here, but that's the big point of his speech that I agree with. We would be foolish to limit ourselves to the one specific ideology that we rode in on, and we would be foolish not to trust the capabilities of our fellow countrymen.

    please tell me im not the stupid one pointing out the recommendation right at the beginning "Please join me with the Lincoln and Booth families". i know its petty, but still its kind of amazing to hear that sentence in a public setting.
