I never would have expected Rick Steves to be a spokesman for the legalization of marijuana. Is this being streamed from some kind of Bizarro internet?

That was a great program overall. It's easily one of my favorites on Fora at the moment.

Rick for Congress. Seriously, he is a man of the world and a real Renaissance Man. I would love to go live in Europe. Frankly, America sucks unless you're rich.

I have great appreciation for many forums I've viewed on Fora, but I felt the need to register because I want to comment about how much I LOVE this presentation. As a fellow global wanderer, a human rights activist, a documentary filmmaker, and a person who considers herself a global citizen..... I just want to say that this speech is something of a masterpiece. I am very inspired and I've learned a lot watching this. Thanks Rick Steves!

What an amazing presentation. I definitely took a turn from his book and I refuse to go on traditional guided tours. I've met some interesting people by going where the locals go or just walking without a plan. It is very much a political act to interact with people as if you're there to get to know them. Thanks Rick!
