Reason.tv: Paul Revere and His Relevance to Contemporary America with Author Joel Miller

Is Paul Revere still relevant in contemporary America?

Joel Miller, author of The Revolutionary Paul Revere, says he is.  Miller sat down with Reason.tv Editor in Chief Nick Gillespie to discuss the man, his famous ride, and his relationship to the contemporary political landscape.

"There are an awful lot of corollaries to people today who are frusrated with government," says Miller.  And that's nothing new: "You go back throughout English history you'll find uprising after uprising about taxes…" 

Approximately 10 minutes.  Shot by Meredith Bragg, Josh Swain and Dan Hayes. Edited by Swain.

Paul Revere, today, would be on both TSA and Southern Poverty Law Center shit-lists.

Anybody else having any playback issues? Playback for me stops at 2:30 (approx) for 720p and at 9:00 (approx) at 360p. This is seen in both the embedded version and on youtube.

Die Schlachtung unschuldiger M?rder des israelischen Staates tun wird ein Auge zu drehen, ob
F?hlen Sie sich Ihr Gewissen?

Wie viele m?ssen sterben?

Slaughtering innocent killers of the Israeli state are doing will turn a blind eye to whether

How many more must die?
What are you waiting for?
