Wonderful stuff


(5 stars)

The 'Time for Reason' shows are excellent, with a level of wisdom you never hear in any of today's media. "1947-03-09 NBC Story Behind The Headlines" is a sad reminder that most things don't change, no matter how much we wish they'd change. The 1947 news from Greece is PRECISELY the same as today's news. Greece behaves the same way, other Euro countries behave the same way, UN behaves the same way.
