For those interested, there's a great Bill Moyers Journal segment with David Simon as the guest. It uses themes brought up in The Wire as a launching point for discussion of topics related to this speech.

David Simon is incredibly articulate off the cuff, and that really shows through in this interview: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/04172009/profile.html http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/04172009/profile.html BTW, this interview does contain The Wire spoilers since it aired after the conclusion of the series.
