When I saw this video, the first representative example that came to mind was the current state of politics here in LOS. (Please note: the example in the actual video portrays some very silly acting people, and I'm not intending to imply that political movements here in LOS are in any way similarly silly, although no doubt some folks will make such a comparison.)

Here's a direct link to the 3-minute video.....and I'll try to "embed" a video player below the link, too.

Thanks for a really interesting link.

I will be sure to spend a lot more time on T.E.D.

Colchicine gets a movement working in me.
