I'm not sure that i would consider what John Oliver is doing as blackmail. I'll leave that for others to opine...but damn, i really like this because my hope is that it might lead to some positive legislative work. If we fast-forward to the future, and it *DOES* pan out to some good that gets legislated, it would be somewhat sad...Sad because it would mean that using logic, reason, etc. failed to get legislation, and the only thing that works is publicity, bad press, etc. /sigh
