In this episode of “Chronoscope,” Charles Francis Potter, a philosopher and author, expounds to little effect on the moral problems of the day. The entire episode consists of Huey and Hazlitt having to ask long leading questions in order to get Potter to actually say anything. He seems to be something of a blowhard, speaking in generalities and platitudes. He also contradicts himself several times. He declares that there is a moral breakdown happening in American but assigns the blame to everyone and no one. Huey and Hazlitt each try to get him to blame the government, the family, and Church, and the school system, and he agrees with all that they say, but then later on makes statements that don’t line up with their questions. For example, Huey gets him to agree that schoolchildren aren’t taught enough individual responsibility, but later, Potter launches into a diatribe about how the schools teach too much individualism, which leads to the “social sense” being underdeveloped in school children. He exhorts his fellow Americans to educate themselves about public affairs, vote, and “get their own houses in order.” A Longines ad follows that cites use of Longines in sports, and shows football footage.See the full length video at: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com
