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.
That was pretty good!
Just not [flashy enough] for kids to get five minutes into it.[Flower]

Thanks for posting this
Thanks for sharing....
I finally sat my daughter down to watch this together..
good to have her see/hear it from some other place than just me. ;)
More people need to watch this and I am doing my part is letting all I know to watch it
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.
Added more you should see and share in the original post
