It’s only because the laptop is in the lap while watching CNN that
I’m putting this post up. Enough of the usual talking heads and the
chattering classes.

DL Hughley had a rabbi and a Muslim on to talk about the
Israel-Hamas war (conflict) and how it’s like the turf battle between
two notorious street gangs. Interesting, and original.

A couple of good guests later, jazz artist Wynton Marsalis was on
the show and somewhere in the middle of the discussion about the
culture, Marsalis said something close to this:

We need people to speak more clearly and listen with even more clarity.

Yesss….Thank you. I’ve been saying this for years. Can we do this?
