he's an interesting guy and a good lecturer. I've seen him speak a couple of times.
I just read a review of his latest Elightenment Now in Nation mag. They got it fairly wrong. He says the world is getting better, the reviewer seemed to think that discounts the efforts put in to make it so, which is a pretty flawed reading, IMO
