description: 
Moderated by Richard Byyny. Using wit and satire, Molly Ivins addresses the American political landscape in the early 2000s. She explains her concern over the direction of the country, particularly with money in politics. However, Ivins cites anecdotal evidence from her journalistic career to argue that American people are extraordinarily resilient. She concludes her remarks by encouraging the audience to maintain a sense of humor while fighting for freedom. During the audience question period, Ivins covers topics like campaign finance reform, 21st century media, and the military conflict in Iraq.
