I was wondering if you were aware of the recent show done by 'This American Life' on NPR called Take "The Money And Run For Office." The program explores the nature of politcial fundraising and just how much of a time commitment the entire process is to elected officials among other things. It is was highly enlightening and wholly disheartening.

I know your general stance is to keep government out of every aspect of life that we can but would you support the public funding of elections to help aid transparency and remove the need for continual fundraising?

Matt, Do you remember getting drunk during the show at the Boulder theater a few years ago and yelling at somebody in the crowd that you hope they get cancer before unplugging and walking off to end the show? I do, that bummed me out.

In your experience, is there a difference when a racist statement is made from a place of ignorance rather than a directed racial statement? or is it all the same?
