    Did anyone else hope for or expected to hear Amy's, "I'm sorry that's all we have time for". His prologue was longer than any video Amy has lead. That title is like click-bait. - smh

    $25 is about what I paid while on and off insurance but $6 for 5 prescriptions? Hell one bottle of Advil cost more than that. France you're basically America's dad, take care of your damn kids! We're dying over here.
    Where's part 2 though? Part 3 is up but not 2 :[

      You're wrong, bro. France contributed with air-support and infantry in Afghanistan through ISAF.

      You know more disturbing things go on in our schools. At least she was partially correct , albeit hyperbolic.

    I agree with Martin Loser King. I like to call him Martin Luther Burger King Whopper Jr. He was great and everything, but he did not accomplish anything. His message was great, he looked great on paper, but he did not really do anything except talk and get killed. Malcolm X made a real difference.

      Please lay out the differences in what MLK taked about and "real difference" Malcom X made. Please share.

      It's all in the history books. Burger King Whopper Jr was a great inspirational speaker and his death sparked a revolution, but X led people to take action and defend themselves, where Burger King Whopper Jr just told people to lay down and take it.

      I watched many documentaries about the 60's and about MAlcolm X, and about Burger King, and about the black panthers.I know all about this topic.

      When people started fighting back, not just sit ins, they got listened to. Civil rights bill came after police dogs started getting killed.
