[Texgreen] Explaining the dynamics of recent politics

[Roger Baker]

I got the excellent video link from the AlasBabylon yahoogroups site  
where lots of smart  folks distrustful of government hang out.

As you would imagine from such a site, you have to screen out  
paranoid windbags and ego trips, but you do find some gold nuggets  
there.  With all the mostly bad news swirling around on the internet,  
the news junkie habit can eat up your productive life.  I'm getting  
over the flu and have time to kill so you see the result. -- Roger
