| It's throwing up a error. I haven't had problems with past interviews so the file must be corrupt. | |

| Fixed. We're starting to use Amazon's S3 service for media hosting since there will be a huge bump as we go into the Olympics and I want to make sure the audio and video streaming will be scalable.
There was a permissions error and that's fixed now. (At least when I just went there.)
Also - the interview is in queue for transcription.

| Thanks Craig. I just listened (about 30 minutes) and it worked fine.
I will have to listen again, since I had a number of interruptions and distractions.
My first reaction is that the changes envisioned would require a much more robust USFA to manage. I need to better educate myself. | |

There is a meathook and a rat crying for someone within the current power structure... | |

The USFA of today is going to disappear. In four years, we are not going to recognize this organization. Either it is going to be seriously reformed in a positive direction, or it is going to crumble under its own weight. In order for any reforms to stick and be effective, they going to require additional manpower, dedication and attention to detail. Entrenched power blocks standing in the way of reform are going to have to be disrupted.
The odd thing is that this election is essentially between two groups of reformers, with pretty substantial similarities in vision. The real conflict is going to come AFTER the election, when the winners are trying to get their program implemented.
And it was a good interview.

| Fallacy of bifurcation.
You underestimate the power of inertia..

| There are only two kinds of arguments: those that utilize bifurcation, and those that don't.

And no, I don't underestimate the power of inertia. How do you think we GOT in this mess in the first place?

edit: Since I've already gotten a question, yes, the spelling of "two" was intentional.

But can we have an election sufficiently without acrimony to permit them to join together?
J.
P.S. I salute Inq in his lonely self appointed task as Chief Curmudgeon.We undoubtedly need him to warn the rest of us from doing the same.  When ever I wribble anything here I ask myself how will Inq respond or will he respond, before deciding to hit the submit button.

| So IOW, you do admit that there is a possibility, however small, that rather than "Either it is going to be seriously reformed in a positive direction, or it is going to crumble under its own weight", it may simply muddle on just about the same way it has been doing for a very long time now? Excellent.
Just to exhaust all of the major options, there is also the frightening possibility that it could be "reformed" and actually made worse... Quote:
