    In many states so-called "Ag-Gag" laws are being enacted to prohibit undercover videotape that reveals cruelty to animals on factory farms. Do Americans have a right to know how their food is prepared for the market? Does the suffering of animals make a difference in the safety of what we eat? Also, Secretary of State Kerry says the world will not accept North Korea as nuclear power, and Bitcoin, the virtual currency. It doesn't exist in the real world, and isn't issued by a central bank. Where can you get some? Where can you spend it?
