I think we touched on the issue of individual (and market) liberties and human rights, and how today's global issues complicate them especially when it comes to environmental issues.
Here's M.I.T. professor Noam Chomsky's 4+ minutes discussing why these obviously important questions are practically never discussed in the media of "free" nations--especially the U.S., but also the U.K.
(By the way: don't be a silly teen who sees an aging genius and can only think "he's old." Chomsky has been a giant in linguistics, media studies, and political economic thought--very Left-wing socialist--for about 50 years now. Agree or disagree as you will, but he's famous because of his depth of knowledge, his clarity of expression, and his defiance of mainstream capitalist beliefs. On the level of argument, he's top-notch.)
