September 25, 2011 (SOAPBOX #110) - Today the subject is the star of the show. Cindy welcomes two contributors who sound off! She features reports contributed by each of these gracious journalists, one from James Rhodes, and the other from Lisa Barr. Jim leads off with his interview of displaced Californian expatriate Rick Peltier, formerly a licensed building contractor in that state who had the good sense to get out - while the getting was still good! This interview was conducted in Hanoi, the once feared Communist domino capitol - which Rick says is now a wonderful and peaceful place to live. Lisa follows up with an OUSTANDING report, discussing the corporate stranglehold on our political process and the social chaos and devastation that engenders. She proposes and advocates evidence-based social policies. (Do we instead currently feature "the best democracy money can buy"?)
