I saw the most awesome documentary last night on OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) called "An Unreasonable Man." I am telling you it is a FIVE STAR FLICK, so if you aren't quite sick of politics and you want to see some of the most entertaining television Public Broadcasting has to offer, then check out this link. You can either rent it or just watch it directly from the Netflix webpage.
Brief Rundown:
1)Produced by an Uber lefty procuction company called Two Left Legs.
2)History of the man who ruined the lives of so many of my favorite types of people. (that is how they make it sound, anyway)
3)Two political parties engaged in backbiting, paranoia, bullying, suspicion, teachery, name calling, and anything else you can think of during a heated campaign season. (Here is a hint: GOP is not one of the two parties involved, but is rather the link, as well as, the wedge between the two warring parties)
Please spend some time and watch this documentary. It is two hours long and it is worth every minute. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Blogust,
I loved this film too and how it raised the problems of the two-party domination of our system. But I was very disappointed that, while it talked about the unfairness of closed debates, it didn't touch on the unfairness of the plurality election system which is probably the most important issue of all and can be fixed.
I wrote about this omission from the film and from Nader's own talk in my post Instant Runoff Voting Excluded: An Unreasonable Omission from An Unreasonable Man. I hope you'll check it out and leave some thoughts. Best.
