This was originally going to be a story in the "normal" DDD you will get tomorrow, but after watching it with Mary I think it's important enough to send out on it's own. It's not only powerful, it's non-political in the way facts and reality are non-political. You could even send this to your right wing friends, and if their minds are even a little bit receptive this will open their eyes.....
Trust me - this is an excellent use of your time......
It's rare to be able to watch two people have an intelligent discussion on TV, and Bill Moyers interviews David Simon, author and creator of "The Wire", probably the finest TV series ever made.
Simon is a thinking man, and has a perspective on what is happening in the US to the middle class and the poor.....Moyers asks him about a lecture he gave last year in Australia - "America Is A Horror Show", and the 26 minute interview below is one of the most insightful I have ever seen....a must watch......
David Simon, creator of the TV series 'The Wire,' talks with Bill about America's capitalism crisis. It's a reality check from a journalist who uses TV drama to report on America from the bottom up. "The horror show is we are going to be slaves to profit. Some of us are going to be higher on the pyramid and we'll count ourselves lucky and many more will be marginalized and destroyed.
