freewheeling

You can watch the Kennedy - Nixon debate on You Tube!
Amazing.
They talk about farm prices --
Nixon doesn't want to manipulate the prices for commodities; instead he suggests a "Payment-in-kind" program --
they did that in the 1980s, during Reagan Administration!
the "PIK" program, it was called...
didn't know the Idea went back to 1960 -- maybe it had been done before that.
All that history -- available to us -- unbelievable

-------------------
once I read somewhere on You Tube -- a Comment from a -- Commenter -- they were criticizing You Tube in its current form, saying it was much better before Google bought it --
How could it be better?
Cannot imagine
how it could be better --
unless of course Sony would set the rest of Bob Dylan's music free and let it roam You Tube again ... liberate the Dylan music !! a lot of commenters on his remaining songs request that, augmenting their remarks with varying levels of profanity

---------------
I never experienced You Tube in its earlier form(s), so -- cannot compare

  1. The only way in which I can think it differed was in the amount of illegal content before Google bought it. YouTube owned by Google is a much more attractive target for lawsuits, so perhaps it had to clean up it's act & that's what people dislike!
