I'm certain the interview was fun.

At 2,000 miles distance, your view was as good as mine.

BUMP!

Great interview, CO.

[calcowgirl]

Nothing shameless about it, Mark.

EXCELLENT Interview!

BUMP!

[Carry_Okie]

Thank you. I'm trying to get people to realize I ain't just a tree-hugger. All this stuff ties together.

What I want to be doing is teaching policy people, judges, and congressional staffers that there are more options out there than the current political divide might present.

[Dog Gone]

You have your work cut out for you. Both the leftists, and those who profit from their agenda in the business world, are slightly better funded than you. I think.

Truth prevails in the long run, but only if it's given a fair shot.

[Carry_Okie]

Both the leftists, and those who profit from their agenda in the business world, are slightly better funded than you. I think.

[GreenFreeper]

ECO-ping! Sorry for all the double-pings I'm sure. Congrats Carry_Okie. Hopefully people read it all!

[SierraWasp]

Here's the biggest BUMP TO THE TOP I can muster, buster!!!

[B4Ranch]

LOL

[HKMk23]

BRAVO! Magnifico!

It seems you've not only done your homework, you've done several people's homework, AND taken their tests AND written their theses. Are you really only one person??

Seriously, just reading the interview casts into stark relief the disparity between what I know and what I ought to know in order to help precipitate the trend toward a society-wide paradigm shift. I also think much of the political mechanics you discuss are inherently suspected in conservative circles, but it's so much a part of the background noise that it isn't credited with the damage it's doing, nor do I think that the extent of the damage is grasped. This whole thing is like some vicious cancer that rages on, as yet, undiagnosed although symptoms have been evident for quite some time. Sadly, most of our time is spent arguing on the level of which symptom to alleviate, by how much, over what period of time, and what color band-aid to put on it.

It ain't easy bein green and a conservative constitutionalist simultaneously, but the Vande Pol dude is doin it. We need to find him some financial backing that won't try to corrupt his "Natural Process!"

I once was a little suspicious of his ideas when I first met him on FR, but one reading of one of his early drafts of his book rescued me from those dark thoughts!!!
