Interesting Links

If you actually want to know what is going on this world, I don't think you can really watch TV and know anything, but there are some glaring exceptions, CSPAN being one of them.

Two interesting things everyone should check out:

1. Since social security serves as our next topic, check out some of the testimony and videos CSPAN posts from different perspectives at http://www.cspan.org (sorry you will need to do a a search on this site as long html addresses, which is what I had for the exact address of these files, break the blog).

2. Since we mentioned consumerism, an interesting conversation was had about Coke by a recent author on the subject, check it out at http://www.booknotes.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1772 (no special programs needed as this is a transcript).
