In the first half hour, Democratic political strategist Rpbert Creamer says the cause of the destruction of the middle class also points to the best way out of the current Great Recession. And on the second half, investigative journalist Rick Rosoff sheds light on America's greatly increased use of drones to make war without putting Americans in harms way. But what it is really accomplishing may not be so good.

Well at this point of peak everything(i.e.mother earth can't keep up or is running out of raw materials), it is dangerous even from a leftist position that our primary purpose in giving people work(FDR would add meaningful, l and that all types of work should be treated with dignity)is so they'll buy products. As far as I know we have not the ability to dig out and transport the resources from another several planets to keep this increasing consumption/production paradigm economic system going. "Buying stuff" or as infamous scientist/satirist Deek Jackson would say "buying sh!t we don't need', for the sake of the economy is crazy. The only economy that we can turn to that will save us as a humane, compassionate, communal, civilization, let alone as a species, is one that is not based on the market but is more localized(less energy wasted for transport) and based on resources available and on distributing them in a fair(equitable) and just way. The film Zietgeist Addendum may be a bit Utopian(which often results in Dystopian) but it has some things in it that we can learn from.

How do you promote it? It offers a nice unique twist on things. I guess having something useful or substantial to talk about is the most important thing.
