I've always been obsessed with bad, awkward television and bad public access. Before YouTube, it was a treat coming across that stuff. When I moved to New York, I used to love watching public access late at night.

Differences of power are always manifested in asymmetrical access.

The surgeon general is responsible for sharing scientifically-based information with the public so that they can improve their health.
