Great show. Went to the Jim’s Big Ego website via NPR and enjoyed all the videos and the flash stuff! The SWF flash on Security, “Cautionary Tale/State of Security,” was excellent! Are you really heard in 48 different countries??

I only hope that this is the beginning of many others being able to question the status quo. This is one of the most inspiring bits about freedom that I have heard in a long time. It echos patriotism – keep up the good work and fight the dumbing of America. Let our self-reflections be our image unto the world – not our foot upon the neck of neighboors.

Thanks Ed for the compliement, and for listening. Yes, the NPR stuff is really worth checking out. And, yes, my log files show downloads from 48 countries in the past month.
Thanks Chris, for your comments, and for listening. I agree with you. Free speech is a right to be exercised where possible, and sought after where prohibited. I suspect most people living in a free society would feel more protective of freedom if they experienced life without liberty.
