For the video you might need to type in [glenn reynolds] into their search box upper left, then a small window opens.

It was neat-o seeing Glenn Reynolds on television today speaking to serious people and pleasantly without contention or animus. He delivers a very good talk, better than his brief videos, I bet his vocal coach told him bring it down an octave. I sure enjoyed listening, and the questions were good too at the end, he handles that all very well, but they are not saved here. He has his tour down pat. He opens and closes with "something that cannot go on forever will not go on forever."  It is positive, and it is helpful and you will be smarter by listening. Who am I kidding? You already heard it several times over, it's just fun seeing him say it again like that all at once. He is getting very good at this book promotion regimen.

I like his ideas and his organization of them because he provides positive solutions. He is describing more so than criticizing, although his criticisms about administrative bloat are harsh, and from a personal standpoint he validates a few of my own ideas about good shortcuts and provides a lot more positive material when talking about these things, beyond, "Oh man, I sure am glad I'm not your age facing all this." So lame when unaccompanied with possible answers.  Glenn Reynolds has helped me  in talking to people on this subject and to feel more positive and hopeful about their own future without taking on ridiculous debilitating debt.
