I love Penn and Teller's TV series on Showtime. Unfortunately I don't get Showtime, so I must settle for catching it on YouTube or Google Video. The language is harsh, but the points they make are valid and presented very well. I may not agree with alot of their points, I bet they can probably make just as good of a case in the opposite direction if they chose to do so, but I'd say they're pretty much spot-on with most of their points. I doubt the language is anything you haven't heard before, but I should warn you there's copious amounts of cursing in their dialog.

As you may tell from the title, this episode is about Recycling. It has some very interesting points on the topic. It shows how the US government spends $8 Billion annually in subsidies for the recycling industry. Stipends are rarely ever repealed and almost no industry ever weens itself from government stipends, so I don't see any end in sight. Watch the video, see for yourself. Comments welcome.
