Which is actually a good thing, because every time I upgrade Flash it breaks.

Stuff I’ve pretty much known for some time. But here is what I propose as a first step in getting back the power reserve to the people.

Modify the 14th Amendment to include the phrase “Such rights enumerated in the Constitution and its Amendments do not apply to inanimate entities.”

That would correct the mistake that we’ve endured for the last 150 years.

but as an experiment, I’ve embedded the Hulu version of it here

…which refuses to stream content to anywhere outside of the US.

An example might be, almost all effective learning that happens. So, I reject your false contrast and I do not assume that Dr. Laden is suggesting this film for entertainment. Though it is entertaining.

I say this as one who watched it more than once, including in a classroom of a great instructor who understood the value of a documentary such as this one.
