"Henry Rollins' Capitalism": making the peoples' case

Musician/actor/social activist Henry Rollins hosts this documentary/reality/web series wherein he takes the audience on a tour of every state capital, interviewing various citizens (and potential voters) in the run-up to the 2012 election. Though Rollins declines to endorse either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, attempting to fairly portray both sides of the electorate in this highly polarized atmosphere, he does implore the viewer to promote and perpetutate the traditional American ideals of fairness and justice for all, embracing our cultural differences rather than exploiting them as divisive wedge issues to advance a particular ideological agenda. From my point of view, that alone clarifies the choices in this election. But that's just me. Nobody whom you support, Rollins' informal but informative travelogue offers a very enlightening, educational moving snapshot of this diverse country at this critical juncture in our collective history.
