Follow Up-People Power: The Game

Saint Louis on the Air had a discussion on Non-violent revolution today. It was great!
You can check it out here: http://www.kwmu.org/programs/slota/archivedetail.php?showid=4423
Their guest, Steve York, has done a lot of work on this issue, including creating an online game People Power where you can work to non-violently overthrow dictators, end human rights abuses, and other ethical practices.
I don't have time right now to buy the game ($10) and play it and see if its any good, (I may later this spring) but if any of my friends want to write a review, I'd be happy to post it here, and would love to here your thoughts!

Also, check out Gene Sharp's interview on morning edition on similar topics:
