for millennia there have been two ways of ordering a society, one based on free-market an entrepreneurship and individual responsibility and that has consistently led to the greatest opportunity and prosperity ever seen across the globe. the other is government control and socialism. that has consistently time and time again lead to shared suffering and misery. it is not accidental in the debate over obamacare, there's not a single democrat public and check back to the current nation on earth that have socialized medicine and said that is what we want. because the effect over and over again of putting it into practice, getting off of the ivory tower has not been pretty, has been ratcheting, poor quality, government bureaucrats getting between us and our doctors. we didn't make that argument. what was the high point of this presidential campaign? without exception everyone said the first debate between romney and obama. so one time we actually contested ideas, presented two viewpoints and directions for the country and then inevitably there are these mandarins in politics who give the voice

well here is a religious tradition that has come down through millennia and millennia that puts the focal point on that. that one can reach the harmony of the universe if we know truly and harmoniously how to relate to each other. so, fascinating stuff but very, very ethically based. any questions you might have? now remember, we have dr. shive coming on to answer those, truthfully there should be something going across the screens saying "this man doesn't know what he is talking about," but we wouldn't do that. but, any initial comments before we see a couple of roll ins that - >> are these according to priority they actually consider the family most important and then temples, then monasteries? >> i didn't prioritize them, no - on that perhaps dr. shive could help us out when we get there. i drew from a whole list of things that i noticed some would not be more important to others so temple like monastery are not going to be more as important within the confucian world because the education is going to be more important. yes helen, and then val. >> in the hunter crowley book, as they di

we have had religions and religious people from millennia; we can hide in our little corners in tribes and caves and argue with each other over doctrine. i keep going back to that wonderful image of fighting in the foot hills when the mountain is there for us to climb. we can do that or we can say let's take the best of religion, organize globally and work towards a world that finally, will bring peace not just to us but i think as we heard in another class to our children's, children's, children. can we do it? well here is an interesting perspective on that, if we could go to our last roll-in, in the class with professor robert moore from chicago theological seminary. >> only a few years ago, the nobel prize winning scientists of this planet joined together in a major statement in which they called on the religious leaders of the world. now these are incredibly sober minded, well informed scientists who don't-- are not hysterical types they are not persons who tend to exaggerate their claims, but they came together with one mind and they called upon the various religious and spiritual

we had economies that went back many, many millennia and were successful until 1492.n: indians had a form of property rights befre white settlers came here and mess that up. some indians actually owned the salmon streams. they manage those streams so that they let the larger salmon go up to spawn. the result is that even today those streams have larger salmon and the stams that were hel in common owned by everyone and hence managed by no one. john: not an individual indian, but a plan would on the stream. why today would they still have more salmon? >> that just goes back to hat was superior management over a century ago. d at the same time i should know we are mismanaging our salmon stocks by chasing them around the ocean, open ocean and over harvesting salmon and many other species. we couldearn from what the native americans did. john: you say you can see th private property dfference by driving through some indian land >> it is fascinating to drive through the reservation in the west. recently i drove through the crowndian reservation in south-central montana, and

the story ran a month later on the front page of the new york times about the office's parents, millenniathe first lady's great great great grandmother who was the slave girl valued at $475 in 1852 and the first lady's great, great grandfather who was a white man whose identity was a mystery. the day after the article ran, an editor sent me an e-mail and said that was fascinating. a little snippet of the first lady's family tree. would you think of doing a book on the old thing and that is how i got started. >> we are glad you got started on the book because it opens up a lot of information about families across america and the interconnectedness of many families. what i like about your book is it reads like a good suspense mystery or thriller. i suppose you had to be part detective and part researcher in unraveling the story. even michele obama herself was unaware of some of the people in her family tree, both black and white. there are many families in america who are experiencing that same thing or who are unaware of their family tree and what that has hidden inside of it. i found the

loess is made up of fine particles of silt and clay that have drifted in over the millennia from barren lands uncovered by melting pleistocene ice. in eastern china, deposits of loess have reached remarkable proportions, hundreds of meters thick. from time immemorial, the chinese have carved cave dwellings out of this soft, but surprisingly cohesive material. windblown sand, too heavy to blow across oceans and continents, bounces and skips along the ground until it is caught by an obstacle in its path. here it begins to accumulate, forming an even larger trap for additional sand. wind plucks sand from the windward side of the dune, blowing it across the crest, where it settles on the quiet leeward side. in time, the entire dune shifts downwind, grain by grain, possibly migrating kilometers from its point of origin. a major source of desert sand is desert playas-- lake beds from more humid times which have long been dry. the same winds that build up dunes may also hollow out depressions in the land surface. these dish-shaped hollows are called blowouts. sometimes wind can be channeled uh

alcohol was an integral part of western culture for millennia before prohibition. certification indigenous peoples in this country, marijuana has been the same -- for certain indigenous peoples in this country, marijuana has been the same. there is a generational issue at play here. people who grew up with the presence of marijuana as being effective law -- a fact of life, it is different from what it was back in to the 1950's. >> what is interesting about drug law today is there is an errant -- under current taking place at the state level to legalize or relieved some of the criminal components, leading some civil penalties in place. the popular movement at local level, we still have a federal law. marijuana remains is scheduled one narcotic which means it is not for medicinal use. we are in a conceptual problem here. we have the federal government that is taking one position on the use of marijuana. state and local ticket a different position. -- taking a different position. how are they supposed to enforce the law? >> in the u.s., these debates are not top down

>> the advance in retreat has of course been happening over the millennia, part of the natural processeeing right now is a much accelerated rate of change. especially in the last 40 years or so, and that has clearly been traced by the scientists to the input of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. >> 1984, the glacier was down there, 11 miles away. and today, it's back here. receded 11 miles. >> you know, in the past 100 years, the atmosphere has accumulated 40% more carbon dioxide in it than had been the peak over the pack million years. so let me say that again because you can't overemphasifphasize t. in the past million years, the peak of carbon dioxide has been around 280 or 290 parts per million. we're now at 395 and adding more every single year. we're 40% beyond the realm of natural variation. so nature isn't natural anymore and that's affecting the entire world. >> it's starting. >> look at that. >> what can we do? >> we have all the economic technology and policy solutions we need to have to fix this problem. i have been amazed in the course of trave

. >> they will be uploaded with sex skills from a millennia of information. >> i feel like we're in thesex robots will provide a key to longevity. they're still working on it. >> men have discovered that? [ laughter ] >> why don't you take a stress pill and think things over. >> this is my lindsey lohan move. she was forced to pull out of an interview with barbara walters after walters said she was going to use the interview to interview her. >> she didn't want questions about the whole unpleasantness. >> if you look at the posters all over new york city, it's trying to use her notoriety to sell the movie. they have these little words like a bush speech in the background child star, sex scandal. it actually makes liz and dick look wholesome. >> that's going to be an awful movie. >> i'd like to see her straighten it out. >> speaking of questions this has been my morning long session. did you hear this on meet meet the press? this is the question david gregory asked. >> you see senator assume her a role for governor romney in this process, the president to bring him in to save the negotia

it was an integral part of some one of the center for of millennia before prohibition. there are indigenous people in this country but it was not as antonette in the life and society also it was today than 50 years ago and there's a generational issue wow were people who grew up with the presence of marijuana whether the appreciated it or not was back in the 1950's. >> what's interesting about the drug law today is the seems to be released the criminal components leading some civil penalties in place maybe even giving away with those as well if the local level we still have the federal law would marijuana means a schedule one narcotic means it isn't for medicinal use so we are in a conceptual problem the government is taking one position for the use of marijuana and state and local people are taking a different position. how are we supposed to enforce the law? >> this highlights what is so different and in the u.s. they are bottom-up and top down. provision is a great example of that. before it got to the point we would have done a grand thing. there were dozens of stat

for millennia, we were told our rights came from monarchs, they came from kings and queens and whatever we might enjoy were crumbs given by grace by the rulers. the framers of on constitution inverted that entire concept into sovereignty. they began with the proposition that our rights do not come from making or queen or even the president. they come from god almighty. the constitution exists to protect those rights and to limit government. as jefferson put it, has changed to find the mischief of government -- chains to bind the mischief of government. there has been two ways to organize society. one is free market and individual responsibility. that has led to the greatest prosperity ever seen across the globe. the other way is based on collectivism, government control and socialism. that has consistently, time and time again, has led to shared suffering and misery. it is not accidental in the debates over obamacare that not a single democrat publicly pointed to any of the nations on earth that currently have socialized medicine and said that is what we want. the effect over and over a

out lower for barack obama, except for thirtysomethings but it's my belief that these are these millennia, sort of oldest chunk of the millennials. they entered the '30s and they stuck with president. so the republicans, it's important to recognize that even in this election with a margin change from 34-point advantage to barack obama to a 23-point advantage of barack obama for young voters, it is unsustainable. so that's one sort of major point that i hope our republican colleagues will take away from this election to to increasing not separate out the issue again voters from the change in demographics in this country. the increasing and voters, when you look at the exit poll and how they're broken up by percentages, young white voters were 11%. young black voters stayed 3% of elected. it was young latino voters that increase their proportion. so you increase in the cannot separate the two pixel republicans performance among young voters will inevitably be linked in their ability to expand their attractiveness to latino voters. i don't think that all is lost. it was at just eight years a

to go back to the aid groups and talk about the contrast and the complex between the boomers and millennia ills, particularly lead in the demands for entitlements that is coming out. the millenials will have to pay for this. what does that look like in terms opf tax structure and other things? >> polls shows that when young voters are asked if they will see social security, only 17% say yes to that question. there is a serious belief among people that we are on and on stable fiscal path. the deficits and a spending is the issue on which they trusted republicans more than democrats. and that was a big debate. young people say that paul ryan is down and likes proximity that will appeal to young voters. that did not pan out. maybe it will be attracted to young people who know that there needs to be a big change. i still feel like many young people have not fully woken up to it. they have decided, i will probably never see social security and medicare. it is a big problem. it does not seem like there is any good solution on the table. it is not like young voters are flocking to one party or an
