american politics…WTF?!

So I was hanging out with some friends last night and my friend Fiz asked, “What is up with the US elections?”, which started a phread that I found truly fascinating. As each person tried to explain US elections, I was amazed at the common understanding of the state of the US government. With so much going on around us, I have retreated into a state of acceptance. I am gripped by the reality of being one in a land of many, maybe the many are not so completely oblivious. Thanks for all the great replies. It’s like a US government CLASS!
Oh, the video is from Phreadz.com, a multimedia video conversation platform (and so much more!) that is currently in it’s closed beetroot version…
There has been a lot of people anxious to take a peek, so if you are interested email Kosso at the e-mail listed below. If you are interested in investing in a man with amazing talent and vision e-mail Kosso at info at phreadz dot com.


I just loved this so much I wanted to share it with you…hope you like it:)

I would have loved to enjoy it too, but after the first video by Fiz, which ended up being very choppy to listen too, I tried again, and then Chris’ response didn’t appear (the video did not play), and the following videos played but completely choppy (too painful to try to listen to) and eventually completely stopped for more than 4 seconds at a time.

(No other apps are running on my computer for the time).

It is frustrating! because you bet I was eager to follow that conversation too.

Take care.

Hey Otir,
First I am sorry it has taken me days to check comments and get back to you. At the time that I posted the political video thread, Phreadz just had a surge of people trying to check it out and the server was overloaded. I have checked it since and it seems to play fine as far as I can tell. There is a green arrow that will play all the posts back to back. I am so sorry that you were not able to view the videos, and I hope that you will try again. IT’S DEFINITELY WORTH IT!! There has been some upgrading to Phreadz recently, so it should play better now:)
Please e-mail me at yurttrash@gmail.com if you have anymore problems playing it. As for the e-mail having a virus…seems weird, but I will certainly pass that on to Kosso. I WOULD NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY!! Thanks so much for stopping by and for you comments. Hope to talk to you soon:)

I finally went on Kosso’s blog to learn the issue that their servers had at the time, and waited until night in Europe to view it. It was soooo interesting, I would have not wanted to miss it.

As for my email to Kosso, I also pursued, but unfortunately came to late to get an invite, and now he says he does not give invites anymore for the moment.

Of course, I never took it personally, I am not paranoïd enough for that (not yet :-).

I really miss being able to interact with you guys, but will go on patiently, and hopefully will be able to get on Phreadz some day.
(I threaded my own adventures on my blog instead).

Thank you so much for answering me.
