Far warning, I haven't watched this one, but just from the title, I can tell it's going to be win.

This is even *if* you don't accept the fact that statism--especially communism--is a cult.

Reminds me of a Feynman quote: "Science is like sex: it has practical and tangible results, but that's not why we do it."

for the record, I don't think he is the most arrogant man, though being a US politician, he sure is up there.

One bit of fail in that video though. The person claims that we were perfectly fine with the healthcare we have right now. That is completely not true. Sure, it's not flat out socialized healthcare, but the corporatist system we have now is far from good.

You appear to have watched a different video than the one I watched, which said that Obama changed health care for millions of people even though they LIKED what they had.  That's not the same thing.

About time someone pointed this out. I've never figured out how someone couldn't think that the minute they saw those statistics!

From Lewis Black:

The only thing dumber than a Republican or a Democrat is when these pricks work together. We have a two party system. The Democratic Party, which is a party of no ideas, and the Republican Party, which is a party of bad ideas. And the way it works is the Republican stands up in congress and goes, 'I GOT A REALLY BAD IDEA!' and the Democrat says, 'AND I CAN MAKE IT SHITTIER!'

From the book Tao of Marketing by Steve Burns. A fictional conversation between Lao Tzu and a Chinese shopkeeper.

""The market is also chaos. It has many forms and never seems to have any direction." "Why?" Hong-meng asked. "People," Lao Tzu replied seriously. "People?" Hong-meng asked, surprised. "What do you mean—people?" "The real market is people," Lao Tzu said simply, as if that were the answer to everything. It's as simple as that. It's not an abstract entity with convoluted definitions, molded by statistics and demographics. It's simply people. When you understand the motivations of the people, then you will begin to understand your market."

I'll buy that.  A man-eating tiger will, at least occasionally be FULL, and if it gets you will normally just kill you and be done.
