Everyone should see it, and it's not political so both liberals and conservatives might agree with his point.
My peeve on something like this is: Too much of anything is not a good thing. Eating greasy fast food 3 times a day for 30 days makes you fat? NOOOOO! Addicting? Debateable. I grew up in the 70's and 80's, so I practically lived off the stuff. However, a time came when stopped living off it because I made a choice. Seems like when someone's doing something that makes another person unhappy/angry, we blame first "Corporate America/The Military Industrial Complex", two "Politicians/Lobbyists", three "Addiction". Does anyone bear any responsibility for their own actions anymore? Sorry for pontificating, but this is a slippery slope issue. It begins with law suits against McD's when a woman puts a hot coffee between her legs when driving and spills it on herself...somehow it's the restaurant's fault. Where does it end? GRRR...
