It explains how the paranoid delusions behind game and numbers theory has been co-opted by governments, corporations, and institutions so that .. literally.. the inmates have been running the asylum.
Their big philosophy has been one of holding mutually exclusive goals at the same time: freedom and control... self-interest and a self-regulating free market... resulting in utter FUBAR chaos and destruction.
Reeps and some Dems are still holding on to this paranoid numbers and game theory model, as many of them are still promoting unregulated utilities, privatization, control with numbers, and resistance to efforts to regulate sectors of the economy and bring jobs and money back to America and real Americans.
As for control with numbers, just look at efficiency models and quotas in industry, and also in areas like education, social work, and health care. Where service and aid are involved, game theory proves most harmful... just look at the ever burgeoning DSM manual of institutional psychiatry buttressed by the very selfish and self-interested pharmaceutical industry... and at the deplorable state of education run on a corporate industrial model of both numbering students and using the numbers related to attendance and test scores to reward and punish schools and staff.
For a good insight to how the numbers model of industry, allied with paranoid delusions of fascist like control, have taken over education, look at the thoughts of Frank Smith and the history of classical education vs. industrial.
Thus we see collapse as a result of the industrial model of the assembly line and turning people into numbered automata; moreover, this model has roots in a mechanistic view of humanity. It's very worthwhile and interesting to look at the history of mechanism in philosophy, arts and letters.. starting with Descartes.
It seems to me that.. right about now.. humanism, both secular and theistic.. both are good.. along with organicism... should be making a comeback in a BIG way!!!!!!!!!!

3. I'm sorry...but this goon is even scary to look at. |

You don't even really have to listen to his words spew from his empty brain. Just looking at his goofy eyes and catching his "i'm too cute to cuddle" grin is enough to tell you he is insane.
How can people be so f*cking stupid as to vote this dim wit into office to represent them? God, we are a nation of f*cking morons.

4. and what purpose did the Specter crack have? |
|
Matthews should really be running against him? There is no logic to that at all. I'm sure Chris would run against him if he thought he should. I watched this earlier in another video, a bit longer. I still don't see where anything Hayworth says makes any sense at all. It's not even coherent.

This DROOLING KNUCKLE DRAGGING sh!t=f0r-brains "hayworth" argues that 1) spending money on the military would be the way for a monetary stimulus and 2) cut capital gains.
This is where we now see the reSCUMlican VERMIN are opposite-of-the-spectrum Stalinists. For the reSCUMlican VERMIN THEIR belief in something makes it an absolute truth.
Believe that's called "DOGMA".
For reSCUMlican VERMIN cutting capital gains is the magic bullet! Cut capital gains and there will be a rush of abundant $$$$ that will send persons or groups pouring those $$$$ into ordering new Avalanches from G.M. and new locomotives from G.E. and new tractors from ADM and new boots at Saks and foreclosed homes in Las Vegas and Florida and eating out more at the 5-stars and ESPECIALLY "investing" more of those abundant $$$$ into expanding factories in China or in Alabama....... right? RIGHT? Cutting capital gains will INSTANTLY make *credit* available, WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT GREASES THE GEARS OF CAPITALISM..... RIGHT? Cutting capital gains will INSTANTLY drive abundant supply right? And ALL that available supply will be readily SOLD right?
Yup, the reSCUMlican VERMIN KNOW that cutting capital gains means instant economic BOOM!
Now about the military spending. Actually this is where hayworth is right: just look at the (equivalent to today) 4 trillion dollars spent by the Federals for war materials during World War II. There's no way around it: those 4 trillion dollars were ABSOLUTELY BY ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT: A FEDERAL STIMULUS. And man-o-man the United States economy was bursting at the seams during the war, whatwith minus zero unemployment! Seems that stimulus via military spending is DEFINITELY a viable option..... BUT what do we do with all that war material? There's no equivalent to Hitler or Tojo around (sorry I just don't think Tehran and North Korea are quite up the the levels of Hitler or Tojo) so what to do after all the stimulus resulting war material?
Well there's always what Frederick the Great did: he loved to parade his armies around and around and around..... so that everyone knew about his army......

Edited on Tue Feb-17-09 05:42 PM by LaPera
and usually it'll sticks in enough unaware, feeble voters minds - republicans know this well and see no other choice but to lie and blame Dems...because the truth is NEVER considered an option for republicans only the blaming others for their greed!
