I Hope You Like the Taste of Cat Food.

Interviewed By Jim Fetzer

Jim has been debunking government bunk for a long time. I was quite surprised when, after a relatively sparse correspondence, he asked me to be on his show. I was taken a bit unawares by his questions about anarchism, as he had suggested we talk about Ron Paul and this years litter of Republican presidential candidates. I wish I had done a better job fielding them. Nevertheless, it was a good conversation and I'm grateful to Jim for the opportunity. It was posted December 2nd, 2011, and can be found in the archives of Jim's blog. http://radiofetzer.blogspot.com/

Audio and video I recommend
