I decided to give the Audioblogger feature a test run.
Fortunately it's the weekend, when site traffic slows down--so if this is a flop, not as many people will be there to point and laugh. I can find one mistake, but hey, at least I did the thing in one take and didn't say "uh." Plus, thanks to the miracle of duct tape, you can't hear the kids fighting in the background.

As I was listening to that a video was running in my head -- one that doesn't exist yet but would go great with that audio clip (just the way you recorded it) as the sound track. The only part I cannot quite see is how to make visual the "...Unfortunately, some people say ..." line.
I think the audio makes the idea being conveyed much more vivid, at least in this case.
