Raj was the most charismatic figure on the panel, and the whole thing got my brain cells popping and sparking. Excellent stimulating discussion. Need to get Raj Patel on The Colbert Report. I saw him on "The Hour" with George Unpronouncable and realized he's informative in any setting: book, blog, speech, panel, long or short interview, funny or serious. A great man behind a leviathan subject. Civilization needs him.
