A voiceover narration exploring the reasons why educational standards are so poor... the State monopoly. As long as we have public schools, we shall have poor quality education delivered at great cost.
The potential for the abuse of power is enormous, and widely evident today with the biased teaching of subjects like history, economics and political philosophy. Children are forced to attend public schools and then indoctrinated, taught to conform and to obey authority.

Gun Control (video)
A voiceover animation illustrating the effect of gun controls. Gun controls mean law-abiding citizens (LAW TAKERS) have their guns taken from them by the State (the LAW MAKERS), so they are no longer able to defend themselves from criminals (LAW BREAKERS). In fact it helps the criminals, by disarming the very people they intend to harm, and leaves the populace vulnerable to democide (mass murder committed by States).

Copying is Not Theft (video)
Nina Paley's charming animation illustrating the simple difference between copying and theft, which supporters of intellectual property rights seem to miss when they condemn the copying of ideas as "theft".
Nina Paley did the animation and sings the song. She released the video with no music and encouraged others to write music to go with the video. There are almost a dozen different versions on youtube, to suit every taste.
The very production process for the video below (my favorite version) demonstrates nicely how much better our lives would be without intellectual monopolies... Nina Paley waived her State-granted privilege to prevent anyone "stealing her idea" by creating a "derivative work", and the result is a better product for the consumer.

How Intellectual Property Hampers Capitalism (video)
Stephan Kinsella talks about how patent and copyright laws, which forbid the copying of ideas, are simple monopolies granted by the State which inhibit innovation and creativity, slowing technological development.

Fight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek Round Two (video)
The sensational follow-up to Fear the Boom and Bust, the first ever economics debate in the form of a rap battle, which has over 2 million views on youtube alone.
Round One was about what causes booms and busts and what we should do about it. This one is about whether government spending helps or hampers the economy.
The question is... could round two be even better than round one?
