Things I Think About

Should America be the world's policeman? Some say yes because with great power comes great responsibility. Others say no, believing instead that we should clean up our own backyard first. This debate has been going on for decades with no clear winner. Recently however, someone has pondered this debate with a fresh perspective. And that person is today's guest - Seth Radwelll. 

Some of what we talked about:

• Countries envy us but they won't change their policies! Why? 
• Why is Democracy not winning the hearts and minds of the world?
• What does populism mean now and historically? 
• Can we ever return to a polite discourse? 
• 77% of Americans belong to the exhausted majority? What's that?
• Will there ever be a viable third party in America? 
• What is multi-choice voting? Would that ever work in America?
• Term limits: Pipe dream or eventual reality?
• Pros & Cons: Representative democracies verses elite governments

All this and more. Tune in for some brain candy comprised of politics, history and humor.
