Pretty primitive audio set up. The USA of technical innovation!

Holy shit mon! Ever heard of Lavalier mics? They're talking, not playing in a band.

Vidal is the greatest---But America lost its reason for education in Puritan times. For more than a century the transatlantic races managed to coexist. When Puritans arrived, it was God's holy people "sent" here to conquer. So when Mass. Bay and Hartford CT began a war on the CT Pequots---without learning their enemy's language, social ways, landscape, or ways of war---they could only create a fiasco. Our schools taught that "victory" as fact, and it's been guiding us to catastrophe since.

That's the Republican Playbook all right: capitalize on fear and anger.
