If you're like anybody else, you're probably sick of all the political talk lately and you've probably made up your mind on who you're voting for. I tend to bow in and out of politics talk at my own whim, but this is an important video to watch.

I was going to watch this and totally forgot it was on! I'm glad you posted it here. I haven't had time yet to watch more than the intro but I usually find Stossel to be right on.

There needs some form of regulation, but regulation does work best when it is most minimal.

Cool video--the whole "spontaneous organization" concept is really interesting!
The problem I'm seeing is that people do well when they have a common goal, but so often people have different, and even opposing views, so what happens then?
I agree with these commentators that people are putting WAY too much faith in the presidency. And I think (gasp) Obama supporters are far more guilty than McCain supporters. But that childhood obesity thing was pretty funny.
