WOW! great show…I think your bit towards the end about sponsored bills was the best part of the show. Its pretty eye opening to hear those facts about the legislative process in California…I think our only option left is to Occupy the Legislative/Executive branches of our government. we must stay their until meaning change is brought about.
Hi Mr E. sounds like you are a little bit of a Ron Paul loyalist there! It’s actually very odd for you to get so bent out of shape by an accurate description of Paul’s frail state. Do you imagine in your own mind that he is a 45 year old spry politician? Please help me understand, because clearly you have a little bit too much attatchment to a politician.
wow, this really sucked. how can you blab blab blab against corporatism and the establishment and media, then say how sad ron paul is.
no, you are the sad one. this sounds like existentialist high school kids talking. BORRRRING and unbecoming.
never ever ever listening to this again.
