John Doyle's Ollie Speech

[Abundance]

I thought the whole speech was truly fantastic. I've often thought of putting a bunch of people from difference disciplines together in a room to solve the big tough questions of the world. John's twist of turning Big Brother into something useful like this was very funny.

[Alisso]

For those who didn't catch it, a transcript and mp3 download are available here. Definately worth it, it was a fascinating speech.

The fact is, rarely has there been a more important time for truth in journalism.
