David Simon is the creator of the TV series ‘The Wire’ – a show I dismissed due to the plethora of swear words in the first minutes (should have given it more attention) – here he is discussing the Reaganite/Thatcherite ‘experiment’ of the past generation in light of his experience of the drug culture he examined for his work:

What an excellent interview! What a great man! One of the newly-made millionaires who refuses to chuck his principles in the bin and just ‘join the elite’ – I agreed with every word he said. Simon is eloquent and agreeable since he’s NOT coming from the POV of a raving lefty loony (like me LOL). Thank you to benstupples.com for this link.

Grace be with you.
