Wow - a severe family tragedy makes Jacob angry. He sets out to find people who can relate to his anger and disappointment. He travels to Iraq. He comes across some American GIs, and has a fun moment explaining he's on vacation - "why are you here?" he asks them.

Then to New Orleans. All along the way, massively disappointing and obstructionist and dangerous public servants. Hacked press credentials. No fear of death. Community networking, technology sharing. Anger and humor and difficult travel.

A full house, riveted to his slides and story. And the question, what next? I was wondering, will his anger cool some, or drive him further into danger? Russian Roulette is entertaining viewing. But Jacob can contribute an enormous amount as a living, breathing being. A contradiction - I want him to be safe, but his content comes from danger.

Provocative.
