We found this video yesterday, when it was only a few hours old. Whittle was kicking around the concept of how to resist the decline of the country by means which don’t require political victory.

It goes almost an hour and a half, but it’s interesting stuff and when he gets to his big idea toward the back end, there is something well worth developing – namely, the concept of building parallel institutions which perform some of the more service- and project-oriented functions of government on the basis of smaller, faster, better, cheaper and through VOLUNTARY means.

Watch it and you’ll see what he’s talking about.
