CalTV News: Robert Reich's Mario Savio Memorial Lecture - November 15, 2011

[SpeegBJ]

Thank you Professor Reich. For years I've listened to your heated wisdom and pleased to see the beard.......to go along with your beautiful, eloquent and straightforward reality of our democratic society. We don't need a stronger voice...you give it to us. Well done.

I loved that he "connected the dots," which is hard for the younger generation to see and understand that the issues today have been with us, and we are now at a turning point in history to change our futures for the better.

One of the great speeches of our time.

Why don't the venal corporate stooge bastards on capitol hill listen to this man?? Oh wait, I think I just answered my own question. Never mind.

The last couple of minutes of his speech (at 15:00) was particularly strong: linking Mario Savio, Michael Schwerner, and his younger self to the "Freedom Summer" of 1964 and the concept of bullying (for Schwerner, it was murder). Bringing "bullying" forward to the present oligarchic money/power concentration is brilliant.

Incredible speech! Also seek out the spoken word speech given by Oakland poet Josh Healy immediately before Reich's speech.
