"A free and open society is the best way that we have"

Saul Alinsky in his own words: a supporter of the founders of this country. "Where mankind is achieving his own dignity, freedom, and equality. The founders realized the country's future rested in having as many people to act, be involved as citizens, as possible. Able to act = power. If we ever ran into a situation in this country where a large segment of our population was disenfranchised politically and economically, it would very likely become malignant and bring down the hopes for the future of this country."

Then, Alinsky's continued explanation of his beliefs gets edited out of this video. I wish I could see this whole program without it being cut and edited, as is obviously the case here.


Thanks to Christopher Buckley
