DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nOpponents of the two-party system argue that Americans are locked 
 into evaluating every issue through a prism of left and right. They say the 
 country needs to break out of a system that has led to stagnation and a 
 difficulty in finding common ground.\n\n\n\n\nOthers counter that, while 
 the two-party system has its faults, it arose organically and has a long 
 history of getting things done in the United States. Supporters say that 
 the system is broad-based and does allow room for independents and 
 third-party candidates.\n\n\n\n\nFor the motion is David Brooks and Arianna 
 Huffington.  Against the motion is Zev Chafets and P.J. O'Rourke.\nSource: 
 intelligence2: Is The Two-Party System Making U.S. 
 Ungovernable?\n\n\n\n"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division 
 of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and 
 concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble 
 apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our 
 Constitution." ~ John Adams, 2nd President, Letter to Jonathan Jackson (2 
 October 1780), "The Works of John Adams", vol 9, p.511.\n\n\n\n\n\nA 
 Utopian Libertarian Marketplace\n\nThe story of Ross Ulbricht aka the Dread 
 Pirate Roberts is about the Internet age. This guy set up a utopian 
 libertarian marketplace, a place where you could buy and sell almost 
 anything in secret. The pirate created a market with no contracts, no 
 regulations, and really no government interference. The Dread Pirate 
 believed in total economic freedom, but he had to do some very bad things 
 to make it work.  Contains language and adult themes that may not be 
 appropriate for children.\nSource: planet money: Chasing The Dread Pirate
