  • never stop speaking the truth david simon......long live the wire, long live david simon

  • One of the biggest problems in this society today is that when it comes to socialism and capitalism, people have no idea what they're talking about. Capitalism and Socialism, operate on a scale. The fact of the matter is no other nation in the world practices the level of capitalism that we do, on a scale of 1 to 10 we are a 8.5. Most other Western Nations are about 6s and China is a 5.

    Moving down the scale is what got us out of the great depression. Ignorance would have kept us in it.

  • "This stuff is systemic, . . . and beautifully moneyed."

  • can a guy like him run for public office?....or be appointed a prominent cabinet position or something?...someone with the courage and levelheadedness for systemic overhaul?

  • Fantastic interview. What a lovely way to end it, with one of my favorite moments from the series. I am only disappointed Mr. Moyer did not find a way to discuss my favorite character, Omar, in this interview. :)

  • Like my grandpa said, het gaat altijd om de fluit en de duit, which means its always about cock and money.

  • Imagine how good Simon would be as a professor: it wouldn't matter the subject

  • @HuxleyWasRight You Sir/Madam are wrong, so wrong i suspect you are lying to yourself. "...interest rates being set too low..." WTF? You don't know and you don't know you don't know.

  • @123davaro there's nothing ironic about the way Simon uses empire. What do you mean by "Empire"? I must say I don't understand your post at all. Are you saying there is no such thing as "American imperialism" or are you saying that you don't know what that is?

    P.s. To your ... and !!! can I ad a ?

  • 2muchtruth

  • David Simon for president!

  • 2 people are corporate-fascist whores
