On Being's "Civil Conversations Project" features David Brooks and E.J. Dionne on politics, philosophy and public life. They say we should celebrate the American rituals that bind us together and revive the idealism of political service. And David Brooks says he wants "a little more human decency."

David Brooks is a New York Times columnist and NPR and PBS commentator. E.J. Dionne is a Washington Post columnist, NPR commentator, senior fellow at Brookings and professor at Georgetown. Krista Tippett moderated the event Oct. 8, 2016 at Washington University in St. Louis.
