An interesting presentation method and an interesting thesis on how things work. I found Prof Lessig's constant lean to the left anoying, which is unfortunate because I think he has a good point that I would like as many Americans as possible to hear. If his organization Change Congress has any chance of succeeding, he needs to bring his message more back on center and stop the partisan finger pointing. As is often the case, people on the far side of either party, they don't recognize how much this put people off. I will watch his organization with interest and would be willing to put my support behind it if it can somehow become non-partisan.

Gave me much knowledge about how our system works. His left leaning came through in some places. Examples-Global warming: I have no trouble finding peer-reviewed papers disputing humans are the main cause of it. Also, off shore drilling should be carefully considered as part of a comprehensive energy plan which includes alternate energy sources but is dismissed by him as an obvious waste of time.
