    Reich ha been fighting a lonely battle, Lorne. He knows exactly what's going on. But, like the superb teacher he is, he keeps trying to educate ordinary folks. I hope he succeeds.

      I have watched several videos featuring Reich, Owen, including the documentary Inequality For All. He is a truly gifted teacher, but, as you suggest, his students are not always apt.

    From everything I have read and heard about the TPP, Anon, there are far more losers than winners.
