    I’m glad I can turn to this show to get news from a broad spectrum of topics. I’ve really become concerned with the amount of amateur journalism that is really just sensationalism. Ignorance might be scary, but misinformed people are more dangerous since they are deeply moved to act based on false information. I’m still in high school and also on the newspaper staff; I’ve seen how faulty info gets around very quickly and I hope I can objectively deliver facts like you guys do.

    Romney, or whoever shows up to battle Obama, will be a puppet for a powerful group of right wingers who are bent on remaking our country to suit their desires…by destroying the middle class and turning the USA into a third world nation ruled by the rich.

    GWB was a real jerk, but look at all the damage he was able to do against our country. I’d say his presidency was a smashing success.

    You should learn more about our history. The way we interacted with other countries in the past, and why, as well as the way we treat the native cultures. Also learning about corporations and how they took control of our government would help.

    No gay characters in STAR WARS? Obviously these people were out of the room when C3P0 was onscreen. :)

    Hello David,
    I’ve been watching these videos and reading a lot online about the fact that the United States of America has been turned into a corporation and therefore absolving it of all responsibility to the people.
    Is this true? What do you think if it is?

    Here’s a good article that goes into the history of this notion…
    http://reality-bytes.hubpages.com/hub/The-Corporation-Of-The-United-States-Of-America

    Also, I refer you to the UNITED STATES CODE (note the capitalization, indicating the corporation, not the Republic) Title 28 3002 (15) (A) (B) (C). It is stated unequivocally that the UNITED STATES is a corporation. Realize, too, that the corporation is not a separate and distinct entity from the government. It IS the government.

    The notion goes even further to describe how we are not considered people anymore and through our birth certificates (just another legalese document) we, our parents, have given all rights of our selves over to the state as a contractual agreement to last until our deaths.

    I’d like to hear your thoughts, debunk this if you can so that I can hear another argument and/or spread the word about this.
    Thanks!

    your the man…have you or would you care to support development of job via cooperatives….

    Mr. President as you know the potential to create quality green jobs for the working class is vitally available in the work place democracy movement in this country. The capacity for this working class solution to returning our manufacturing jobs to America while focusing on developing income for low and middle class Americans is consistent with natural law and the power of democratic thinking…As you are aware the UN has declared 2012 as the year of the cooperatives…an ideal time to manifest worker owned coops as the solution to returning and creating jobs in America. As Jefferson stated so many years ago, the leaders of a good government “shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned” (Portable Jefferson 293). Although these principles of protecting labor from exploitation were lost in modern America, they are now found in the worker-owned democratically managed cooperative movement…which is a natural solution to the problems inherent in imbalanced use of corporations in American industry. The great protectors of democracy and liberalism of the centuries have seen the advancement of corruption caused by corporate greed…return the lost jobs to America and put the ownership and management of America’s new age manufacturing systems in the hands of the people. As Jefferson took action against the Federalists, he would have agreed to take action against any consolidation of power generated from an imbalance of corporations and cooperatives and the need to manifest work place democracy or return the means of production tom the hands of the people. In 1863, the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln warned that “corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow…until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed” (Lincoln Encyclopedia 40) The time to development worker owned manufacturing cooperatives all across this nation is now…the resources to design and guide the development of coops exists across the planet…there are localized organizations capable of managing the development of cooperatives…what is needed is national leader(s). A leader to utilize the inherent qualities of worker owned manufacturing coops to manifest a national movement to create jobs for the low and middle class working class, a movement designed to return manufacturing jobs to America while inherently strengthening our nation.
