Wow! This is the first time we've assigned homework. Will there be a test?

[Wallary]

Great history lesson 7. We better get our $h_t together before it's too late. I want my Daughter to watch this with me. I'll comment later.

Wow! This is the first time we've assigned homework. Will there be a test?

well, lets just say that our future depends on this homework in a roundabout way.

[pickenup]

Can't view it.
I don't........"Click here to download plugin"

Do I still have to take the test?

[WillysWagon]

I'll be watching it tonight when I get off of work [Beer]

[HunterCO]

I already watched it was going to post it later today you beat me to it 7.

It should be mandatory that every American watch that. I sure it would go right over the libs heads though.

Good stuff, except the bit on "anarchy", it's way oversimplified, and shows somewhat ignorant view on the subject. Sort of similar like people use "assault rifle" term. Other than that, good video, thank you.

[sirthomas]

very interesting indeed

[jackedco]

It was great. I'm going to forward it to everyone I have an e-mail address for. If it only speaks to one person it's worth it.

USA = Rome 2.0

We're dying much like they did.


*thanks ;)

[CareyH]

worth watching.

[tsr]

USA = Rome 2.0

We're dieng much like they did.


it's "dying", but yeah, we're there. Everyone should read Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of Roman Empire"...

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeated, just make sure you're ready for it. Readiness is your personal business, in our case.

[roman gnome]

That was pretty good!

Just not [flashy enough] for kids to get five minutes into it.[Flower]

[aloharover]

Very good. Sending the link to some friends.

Thanks for posting this

[PanamaDave]

Thanks for sharing....

[7idl]

I finally sat my daughter down to watch this together..

good to have her see/hear it from some other place than just me. ;)

[iceman]

More people need to watch this and I am doing my part is letting all I know to watch it

[SigShooter]

While mostly built on correct and factual information, it is also contains assumptions that lead to conclusions that are wide of the mark. The core point of the video raises a real issue, but the insinuations it uses to build that point are flawed and often gloss over the realities of history.

Morality/Religion.
Having grown up closely and directly tied to religion, it is my opinion that there is no connection between morality and religion. Many of the most amoral, dishonest and dishonorable people I have ever met were also extremely religious and usually in positions of religious power. Clearly, I have much more to say on the subject, but that's for a different time.

Free Market/honest competition.
The insinuation is that the free market is self regulating and governmental controls are un-needed because competition is honest. The fact is, competition is as often dishonest as it is honest. If it was always honest, the conclusion drawn would potentially be correct, but laws and the enforcement of laws is needed to KEEP completion honest and allow the market to be as free as possible.

There is more... but there are other things to do today.

[7idl]

Added more you should see and share in the original post


if you have anything that we should add, please IM me with the content and I'll add it if appropriate.

[bjl913]

very good little refresher course! I needed that, sometimes we forget these things. i think that they should get taught EVERY year in high school so the kids have a little mental image for the rest of their life lol

[ColoradoShooter]

Great movie. Thanks for the post!

And, that "my dear friends" is why I will be voting Libertarian (or for Ron Paul) this year.

[Help]


I've got more to say, but lost it a minute ago when I tried to post it, so I'll have retype it another time.

[jvandenhaus]

Too political for my tastes.

[CO_Mountain_Boy]

The youtube link hasn't been around for a couple of months. What was the name of the movie? I will see if I can find it.

[rabbitstew]

Thanks. Good refresher about how easily the fruits of our county can slip like sand though our fingers. Good video. [Help]
