Mark Twain Independence Day

Johnny Whitaker is about the same age as me. He was on the old TV
show "A Family Affair." I remember seeing him 40 years ago in a Tom
Sawyer movie...

George Carlin - Why You Are In Debt (explicit)

Is Market Failure an argument against government? - David Friedman

I found the first 41 minutes to be an enlightening discussion about how economics leads to individual decision making and bad politics.  It is slightly technical, but I learned some new terms...

Also interesting is his discussion on Global Warming and population explosion starting at 65 minutes ...

9/11 As It Happened: First Reports and Second Crash from Multiple Media

I think that this is real interesting. It takes about 90 seconds to
get to the 9-11 coverage. 20 seconds from the end we see the second
plane hit.

Never forget.

Bobby Kennedy anounces Martin Luther King's death, Indianapolic, IN 1968

You have probably seen this before, in which case you might not want
to see this again, but I am blown away by the quality of the impromptu
speech.

I think that Bobby Kennedy would have gotten my vote because he was
someone who could deal with racial strife.
