Former Gov. Jesse Ventura recently held a Reddit AMA.

There was a lot of talk about the state of the country, social issues such as marijuana and the Drug War, the election ... and a little bit about Minnesota, including what he thinks about public money being used for the new Vikings stadium.

He generally wrote long, thought-out answers to the questions (whether you agree or disagree is of course up to you).

Read the full AMA here. He actually did one a couple years ago too, and that's available here.
