1. "We needed weenies. Mr. Brown had weenies. It's as simple as that."

Man, I have used that excuse after a blackout all-nighter and it never, ever works.

2. Cold war propaganda is so hilarious and campy.

It's amazing how seriously people took it. I still see the same shit permeating the media here.

3. Gee. Nothing about deregulation and offshoring.

Capitalism looks good on paper, but once you factor in greed, it all falls apart at the seams.

4. Funny how Native American "private property" became ours ... ???!!

Meanwhile, we are all on the same planet -- and its community property -- !!

Every nation a commonwealth!

We all benefit or we all fail.

5. Here's a link to an exceptional 1946 Encyclopedia Britannica film called "Despotism"

Scary, smart, and factual-

From the Prelinger Archives:

"Measures how a society ranks on a spectrum stretching from democracy to despotism. Explains how societies and nations can be measured by the degree that power is concentrated and respect for the individual is restricted. Where does your community, state and nation stand on these scales?"

The god damn idiot freepers, teabaggers, and repukes have infested the respected Archive site spewing their ignorant hatred and conflating the concept of Despotism with education and President Obama. A few balancing comments would help.
