Reason In the Air

At NPR, Nick Gillespie confronts the dread prospect of an America with no "shared" culture, and says "Sit on it!"

Is Gillespie’s bit somewhere in the “U.S. Population Nears the 300-Million Mark” story?

oh wow look a convergance of technology and demographics that constitute and inevitable trend that vastly favors the cannon of libertarian thought of individual liberty and choice…gee from commentors on this blog i would think that this is not even happening and I should happly fall upon on the sword of the DNC political machine.

Mike,

Click on the listen icon…it is red and near the title…it took me awhile to find it also…so much for publically funded media. I would never have this problem on Youtube.

“Operating system” ? “Personal applications” ??

Why Nick, how… delightfully geeky! 8^)

What a remarkably skeletonized story. So society won’t survive unless we have three channels, and they all broadcast the same thing? And our operating system is more capable of multitasking?

What’s with the sarcasm, Joshua?

Bloggers often link to the wrong web page. An especially common mistake is to link to a page that always shows the latest episode of a series, rather than an archive page permanently associated with the particular episode the blogger is trying to reference.

Since there is no mention of Nick Gillespie anywhere on the linked page, I wanted to make sure it was the right page before I spent my time listening to some random audio file that doesn’t even have Gillespie in it.

Also, since Nick may have only been one guest in a long broadcast, I was hoping the answer might be something like, “Yes. Nick appears 23 minutes into the broadcast.”

By the way, it is “canon” with one ‘n’. A “cannon” is a weapon that fires large projectiles.

joshua’s comment’s amount to more of a ‘cannonette’.

[Twba]

I prefer the Canonette.

[The Loan Arranger]

Cannon we all jess git a loan?

What’s with the sarcasm, Joshua?

Mike no the first part i admit was sarcasm but not dirrected at you and the second part was me being helpful…seriously i had problems finding the link as well. sorry if i came accross as sarcastic…i wasn’t being that way towards you.

[Mike Laursen]

Sorry, Joshua.

[Stevo Darkly]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy!

FYI, Nick’s comments begin shortly after the 3:35 mark in the broadcast and are finished by the 4:15 mark.

[Mike Laursen]

Thanks, Mr. Darkly.
