Thanks to everyone who participated in the show today!  I've entered into the enormous and tremendously important topic of individual rights, which will be the primary topic of discussion in my show for the next couple episodes (or perhaps more).  Here is a link to the archived episode: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dbsloan/2011/10/29/defending-capitalism

Be sure to tune in next week for part 2 of my discussion of this fascinating, life-or-death issue: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dbsloan
