A very long [nearly three hours!] interview with Chris Hedges. He [IMO] misses on a few [emphasis on a very FEW] matters with which he is not completely familiar; but as a general opus, statement and belief system, I find this incredibly insightful and empowering. I have listened to it several times. Do listen to it at least once. Here is a very moral and well informed man who understands both what is broken in America, why it is broken, and what needs to be done to fix it.
