The best resource, so far: TalkingStickTV.org

Our Spartanista Vegans blog is here to inspire. It is here to offer a framework, a plan, a campaign. But before we get to that, we need to spell out our goals. This blog will do that in great detail in posts to come. For now, and in fact in the spirit of simplicity—a virtue for which we hold in highest regard—we offer one single Web address. It will forever be a guiding light:

Talking Stick TV

We hope to add other Web sites to our list to spur us to transformation. For now, this one acts as the most complete. Talking Stick TV best describes the most important issues of our day, brought to us by a vast array of primary-source reporters and actvists. The Web site is massive collection of YouTube videos of people giving lectures and interviews from a boots-on-the ground perspective. The owner of Spartanista Vegans (blog), Pamela Rice, considers Talking Stick TV to be the most comprehensive Web site on the Internet. It is comprehensive in its scope: that is, types of issues. And it is comprehensive in presentation: each linked video is at least a half-hour long, giving the presenter more than half a chance to properly give his or her point of view.

There are over 500 YouTube videos in the Talking Stick TV collection, and Pamela Rice has watched nearly all of them! And because of this effort, Pamela is fond of saying that she possesses the equivalent of a Ph.D. in political science. Pamela could have gone to college for for a "real" Ph.D. But, without augmenting that tour of study with sojourns to the
Talking Stick TV Web site, she would contend, she probably would not be as smart—or smart at all.

So,
Spartanista Vegans blog subscribers: Share Pamela's passion for Talking Stick TV. Go there. And bathe yourself in knowledge and understanding. Follow Pamela's lead: deeply familiarize yourself with Talking Stick TV. If you retain any addiction at all (and we don't like addictions here at the Spartanista Vegans blog), regularly visit and view the videos at the Talking Stick TV Web site.
