Kudos, then read his book, "How Capitalism Saved America."

I hear and read that all the kids are into this thing called alternative media.

Yeah, I watch too much tv, so if something doesn't get right to the point, I stop watching. If I commit to reading something I stick with it.

Must be getting old.

There is a lot of info in those 10 minutes but I would recommend reading the book.
