Hi Folks, we just posted the new topic. RACE IN AMERICA. You can find it as a video response above once it propagates or just look at our account for Take Back the Mic: Open Mic - Politics/Week2 . Look forward to hearing from you! D.N.A

Hey y'all, sorry for being so "quiet." I've been in Costa Rica for a conference and am now out in some surfer village w/ no phone or TV! Anyway, just wanted to thank everyone who participated in the first stage of the competition. Stay tuned for the next topic and feel free to make suggestions! Peace, D.N.A.

Thanks!

Thanks. I have a friend in Milan and have been planning to visit Italy, so I may just take you up on that! ;) Peace, D.N.A

That's a wicked idea mate! Quick question on the rules: Does the candidate being supported need to be running for president, or might you consider issue-based commentaries supporting candidates running for lower offices?

[soulfegemusic]

Hey danlesh, that's actually a really cool idea. I think for the initial phase we can stick to the presidential race while we iron out the details, but as things go forward we can look at expanding. You should def send any suggestions to politics@takebackthemic. Good stuff, D.N.A

Michael Moore should be more objective with his work; it'd give it more credibility. I watched 'Sicko' and I've got to say that he only uses the worst case scenarios so you've got to take what's said with a grain of salt. He doesn't show the bad of the other countries' health care systems so it's not showing all sides of the argument, therefore not very reliable as objective and informed material. Don't base your opinions on other people's; research the facts for yourself. :]

[AJAX556]

Yeah sure, I'll put that on my list of things to do, right under "chop off both my hands" Why don't you first google "the real Cuba" and get back to me.

Moore is a propagandist to the Nth degree.
