I know that this clip has been around for some time. This seems as relevant now as ever. Pay close attention to the message. Ask the question... when and how do we get back here?
Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) hits the nail on the head in the opening minutes on HBO's series 'The Newsroom'. He is asked by a college student a simple question during a campus debate. 'What makes America the greatest country in the world?'.
Daniels initially goes the politically correct route. Then goes with a honest, bold, straight forward answer that sums up a lot of the worlds problems that so many are afraid to accept because we all want to believe in our system and that it is our system that works.
We used to be the worlds best of the best and now we are just pretending. The first step to solving a problem is to admit there is one.
I am glad there is a change coming in January 2017.
UPDATE 07/04/2020 - I still really enjoy the message of this video.
ANOTHER UPDATE 2024 - Still love it. And this message really resonates right now.
