Customer Reviews
Thought Provoking and Intelligent.
I just finished listening to Corruption-The Alpha Version and I was mesmerized. I am going to listen to this podcast at least once more before I take on the others because there is so much information and so much to think about. I was recently informed that Civics/Government is no longer taught in the US school system. Perhaps that is part of the reason the US has veered so far off course. The material in this podcast should be a part of the curriculum in every Civics/Gov. class and should be required for every child in America. It's not too late for us adults to take a refresher course either. Give this a listen.
Variety Needed
Too much of Lawrence is not necessarily a bad thing. But, I would like to see others express their opinion and provide insight on ways of keeping Congress from being fixated on of the campaign money trough.
