Baltimore, Maryland - February 18, 2008

We went off on a tangent in the late 60's and never righted the ship. We just kept trying to put band-aids on things. What The Wire shows is the end results of all these band-aids. All these efforts to try and do something, but they are so scattered that nothing is being done. For the people who are disconnected from the main society it seems that one of their alternatives is the drug world, and that creates a whole culture. And what The Wire tries to do is show you that culture, and the reasons why that culture came about. I don't think it is anything more than a dramatically fair representation of what the world is.
