Two Americas
Da
vid Simon, the creator of The Wire, recently gave an impromptu speech:
The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns,
as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with
educating and incorporating one generation of workers into the economy
after the other when that economy is changing; the idea that the market
is going to heed all of the human concerns and still maximise profit is
juvenile. It's a juvenile notion and it's still being argued in my
country passionately and we're going down the tubes. And it terrifies me
because I'm astonished at how comfortable we are in absolving ourselves
of what is basically a moral choice. Are we all in this together or are
we all not?
