  • Stef: please stop comparing the government to the mafia. Such a comparison is woefully unfair to the mafia.

  • l...o...l...

    stef is catching a lot of flack in this vid..The feed back reminds me of something like verbally bitch slapping the jock bullies in school, yet echoed only by..."psh-nerd" and *high fives prototypical lackey side kick with an interesting but not original haircut who seeks out attention in over aggressive leaders most likely because of abusive parents* **with girlfriend of questionable intelligence** ***and self esteem issues***

  • I wonder if this "anit-statist" has paid off his student loans? 

  • @IronicKismet It must be easy to dismiss people based on gross generalization, but speculative ad hominem attacks aren't the same thing as a valid counterargument.

  • @dangoettel100 So he really is protesting against his potty training in a grossly general way? And I'm still wondering if he has paid off his student loans? If somehow all the hot air produced by "Anti-Statists" could be harnessed, I really believe all our energy needs could be met. Just get a job and pay your fucking taxes for Christ sake.

  • A bald middle-aged man still protesting against his potty training.

  • obama a wonderfull biracial prez.

  • Looking back at this video, it is frightening how on the ball Stefbot was in regards to Obama's character. At least, it would have been if these bastards weren't so goddamn predicable.

  • wow talk about miserable

  • sure likes to hear himself talk.

    we are nevertheless the only true Democracy in the world.

    I grew up in Nazi Germany, member of the Hitler Youth.

    I am proud to call myself an American

  • @Oldekirk Democracy: 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for dinner!

  • @Oldekirk *facepalm*

  • I remember watching this speech a year ago in my school. Don't worry Stef, it's a private school, so I wasn't being forced against my will. =D Anyways, wow everyone was so happy and hopeful. And now.... well fuck.

  • "Shut up and pay your god damn taxes." Classic :)

  • As politicians talk as radio shows go on ,,and the people and the planet still suffers ..the banking system still steals from the people ,,everything is being forced upon us ,,,this fucking 30 year mortgage and much more ,,they got us by our balls ,,,and if you say too much unless the CIA has paid you to say so ,,then you become toast

  • 10:32 "Oh yeah, this stuff is just amazing." HAHAHAHA, excellent.

  • my point still stands

  • How can you criticize immigrants when you are clearly foreign.

  • @stewylolol

    he comes from Canada you tit.

  • "If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency; the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property; until their children wake up homeless on the continent their forefathers occupied." Thomas Jefferson.

    1913 Federal Reserve Act. The day America died.

    1963 murdered JFK. The day opposition was crushed.

    2001 coup de tat Bush / Cheney. The day the power elite declared war on the world.

    2008 hope.

  • @HostileNegotiator

    2010 total screw up, same shit different color.

  • Can somebody explain how US government intervention in WW1 helped in the rise of communism???????

    I don't know where stef studies his history

  • The U.S. is the hugest terrorist force ever known. Just because there is a brown skin man in the white house doesn't make America any more substantively progressive. This Obama shit is an example of superficial progress. However this country is NOT progressing. The powers that be may be less blatantly racist, but they are patently more fascist today. The bureaucratic gov't is a gang of criminals and Obama is merely a representative of America's criminal interests and decisions.

  • this guy just kicked obamas' ass up between his shoulders.

  • very refreshing. finally,, somone intelligent unlike that blow hard alex jones. this guy just tells it like it is. with out all the clownery and theatrics.... oh sure since he's a brit, he's probably mi6

    but he's better than jones...

  • When they had that lunch prayer I was like "what the hell?" What about church and state separation? It seemed like a big endorsement of a state sponsored religion to me. The nation keeps putting its future in the hands of people who think that calling up to unseen beings in the sky with supernatural powers will help them.

  • Fabulous ! "The hood ornament on the car that will run you and your children over ." I laughed ...just fabulous ! So appreciative that I have stumbled into your words ~

  • Obama is in power because he was chosen by the banksters to bail them out. Democracy has these processes built in, first you get bush he does what is required by the ruling elites, the masses grow tired over the years, so someone else is provided who will 'fix' things and make it all good, the masses are stage managed into accepting this as 'democratic rule', both leaders, from both parties serve the ruling elites always.

  • I know it sounds socialist but I like the idea of a living wage for all paid for by the predatory corporations that do nothing but extract wealth from the community

    Less labor & more time to think & invent The last thing I want is another job I slaved enough in the first 50 years I'd like some leisure time now I would have liked more free time when I was younger but I had to go to the job The same job that broke my back screwed my knees gave me white knuckle scarred my eyes & poisoned my lungs

  • You're right.

    It does sound socialist, mostly because:

    1: you think wealth has been "extracted" from the community when it has not. Wealth did not start in the community. It was created by productivity through voluntary contracts.

    Wealth, however, has been "extracted" by government from those who produced it..

    2: You expect others to take care of you because you feel tired of having had to work, as if this "taking care of you" does not happen through legitimate "extraction".

  • On point one I reiterate that predatory corporations, including all of our corporate governments, do extract wealth

    We labor for the corporations and in return they sell the crap that we make back to us. Useful items like game boy, cable tell lie vision, beer and breast implants. First we have to pay for our food, clothing and fuel which all need us to trade in our debt notes at central corporate big box locations

    That brings me to point two. Give me alloidal title so I can live off my land

  • 1. In the current state of crony capitalism, yes.

    In a truly free market system you would not have to labor for the corporations (if you don't want). You would be free to enter a market and sell your own goods and services without any corporation being backed up by the state's regulations, taxations, permit requirements, political lobbyists, red tape etc.

    You provide something of better quality for smaller price, the consumer wins and big business loses.

    2. No problem with me.

  • hmm my thoughts exactly... i am so saddened and sickened by this modern world. One day this is all going to change i know it. We will survive this, mark my words in my life time or the next we will all rise above this level of existence,

  • Don't be ridiculous. You are lazy compared to people in the old days. No time has been better than "modern times".

    You think you had max. 8 hrs/day and minimum wage in the old days? You are benefitting from the initiation of force of the parasitical class and you have the nerve to complain about having to work for a living.

  • With today's technology we do not need to labor to survive. We have technologies that will free humanity of servitude.

    But we will not see them if it doesn't benefit the corporations.

    Work is overrated out dated and not needed. Some day soon we will enjoy the material world in a software program.

    We do now. These kids aren't going to buy a 100,000 dollar car when they can drive one on line and never leave the farm.

    Where will all the jobs come from then?

  • Uh-huh.

    And all that technology will plan itself, engineer itself, manufacture itself, maintain itself, power itself and so on.

    Some magical fairy will give all that goodness to us, and make it all work and keep it working so every single one of us won't need to accumulate all that specialized knowledge needed to keep it all working all by ourselves.

    Wonderful anti-market Utopias.

    Reminds me of a Joe Rogan joke: "Go into the woods with a hatchet and see how quickly you can send me an e-mail."

  • You comments just show your lack of insight. There will always be a need for all people to contribute to humanity. That contribution will be much different in the future. It will not be for profit or material gain. In the future we will take much better care of our planet and all humanity.

    I know that's hard to swallow but you will join us, all humanity will join us.

    When you find out the truth and are able to short out all the lies you have been told you will begin to see the future as I do

  • Btw i enjoy your videos very much Stefan.

    They've made me think a lot

  • 'I'm the hood ornament on the car that is going to run you and your children down!!' That is well spoken with regard to obama!!!

  • "No, it's just words" lol! Hilarious!

  • good close

  • Sort of general sweeping statements about Obama there. I think a lot of people DO trust him.

    I doubt many people were actually listening to his speech, I can 't even remember one line of it. I think they just appreciate how he symbolizes a shift in America's identity. That's why he means so much to me.

  • That never made sense to me.

  • A sweeping shift? Is that due to the melanin in his skin? Perhaps you refer to his law degree because no other politician has one of those.... Maybe it's because he's a Democrat? Yeah, never had a Democratic president before. Oh! I know! It's because he says there will be change! That's what it was! Whew, I knew there had to be a reason somewhere.

  • Actually it is about his melanin. And the fact that so many Americans were ready to vote for a person of color and the fact that 50% of the children in elementary school in the United states are minorities. America is changing. It represents a shift in how America sees itself and how the world sees America.

  • No, seriously. Who gives a damn what color people are? Isn't that usually called racism? It's the content of his character that matters, is it not? I mean, lots of people are black but that doesn't mean they are fit to be president. Just as lots of whites are woefully unequipped to lead.

  • I'm not making a judgement about what kind of president he is. In fact I'm not talking about him at all. It's about what his election says about where America is. America has come so far and I think it's kind of exciting where it's going.

  • You mean, the point where a black Bush is somehow better than a white one. That childish point? Yes, it truly says something about where America is and how far it has not come.

  • It saddens me that you throw out insults to make your point.

    As I said, I am not making a judgement about him as president. You used the word better, not me. I am simply stating that America being able to elect an African-American president is progress from separate drinking fountains.

  • The point is, to talk about improvement and progress as something related to the color of his skin, is not progress. The fact that we are talking about it shows the progress we have not made. The fact that they hated Bush and elected a black one, one with more of the bad elements of Bush, is not progress, that's lack of it.

    Det var min poäng :)

  • jaha well... The fact that we are talking about it means there is still progress to be made. But it doesn't mean we haven't made progress. Do you think he could have been elected 50 years ago? Of course not... that's progress.

    it's not relevant who he is or what his policies are, it's still progress. Just like Sarah Palin is progress. I disagree with almost everything she stands for but I still think it's progress that even traditional conservatives were willing to vote for a woman.

  • Of course it is relevant what is policies is, if you suggest anything else you are merely looking at the color of his skin.

    You are actually showing the lack of progress by suggesting we should look at someones skin or their genitalia. That is what doesn't matter, how they will govern is what does matter.

    I really don't care that Obama is black. The only thing is that I wish he was white so the stupid people would stfu about racism when I say he will destroy the country.

  • Progress would have been President Martin Luther King Jr.

  • I've been watching for about 2 weeks and I find your videos to be very stimulating and thoughtful.

    Is there a favorite book for you regarding philosophy?

  • lol.... *shuffling in papers* "No, sorry, this is just words". Nice.

  • This man is shitstorm. He has no truth to him. accept him at your own peril. Oh, bye the way, stay in stocks and avoid gold at all costs. That way you shall surely die.

  • No truth to him.... Good statement. Anything else to say backed up with no argument or with useless ad hominems?

  • well, most of us know that all politicians have few things in common:

    - Lies

    - Lies

    - more Lies

    it will always stay like that, unless people start to take their blinders off....!!

  • You have some very good points

  • "the seriously brain stultify drug of statism"

    You are a stultifying drug, as these gross metaphors exemplify. You aren't even preaching to the choir - you're chanting.

    "Statism is bad."

    "Statism is bad."

    "Statism is bad."

    "Aaaaanarchy, aaaaanarchy!"

  • Impeccable logic, thanks for your contribution! :)

  • We could always revisit Afghanistan. ;)

  • @directedchaos hahaha

  • @directedchaos what?

  • Science is humanity's attempt at explaining magic and supernatural power. If you shine you already know this. If you don't, google the shining. Understand why you have premonitions and why you know who's on the phone even b4 it rings. Why you seem to be able to influence people with your thoughts.

  • yeah, that was a good movie... :)

  • {{{FREE JAMES BROWN}}}

  • CCCMedia, sorry the last several failed years is what i meant

  • Obama talked about re-establishing "Science". Mis-information about science in State Education- I found to be most irratating when growing up! I wrote a poem called, "The Perpetual Motion Machine Fails Again", Because Some of the Laws of Thermodynamics were Ignored for at least 2 years of my High School education! Can u imagine that!jakex

  • I understand the commentary here (I'm a regular viewer), and it is legitimate. But isn't the inauguration speech supposed to be a sugarcoated piece of shit? I haven't ever heard a formal speech that was concise enough to where I could say, "He said it how it is." For the ordinary viewer, it must be overwhelming, but the entire crowd that was there showed up so their faith could be reaffirmed, if only superficially, in the man they elected.

  • Obamas constant references to sacrifice is frightening. Can't help but think of Yevgeny Zamyatin's We.

  • Of course I'm not joking.

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for that! I totally agree with you and it's good to know that some people can see things as they really are. I have been watching quite a lot of your videos, and though I agree with your views about how things are - I still have not found any solutions to the state issue proposed by you. Do you have any video's that talk about what CAN/SHOULD be done as a collective solution to states and governments all around the world?

  • The craze here in Chicago is maddening, thanks for the vid and anarchist commentary.

  • just curious what is your prespective on religion? Or which view of religion do you most closely subscribe to?

  • I am not superstitious, but a rational atheist... :)

  • Do you have any videos which you further explain your view of rational atheism?

  • Sure, you can try 'Proofs for God', and a bunch of my podcasts... :)

  • Stefbot, is not a moron, he's just being critical. Yet, Obama does not claim he has all the answers, he understands that the the road ahead is long and hard, and that he will make mistakes. It is the people who make him out to be the "messiah" so to speak. It is their way of venting their agression from the pervious 4 years of failed administration. But Stefbot, you make some good points still.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, you bring it to a point.

  • I usually don't like your videos , but this was fantastic.

  • you went right over the line "...the lines of tribes shall soon disolve..." without picking up on the implications as to how it affects the American Indians, who are several sovereign nations backed up by treaties which are "..the law of the land.." according to our constitution. So.. any thoughts on this now that I've brought this up?

    by the way i liked everything else you said. your cynicism and mine are symbiotic.

  • Quite good, but not great becasuse this is something very obvious that whatever goverment do, which good or bad intentions, it will by always worse than before.

  • who are you talking to?

  • if he is a "moron" you're a junk food junky. and oh, I would appreciate if you drop me from your "us". And it would be proper if you just stop saying "us" altogether. You can't speak for anyone but yourself, and if you think you can then you sir are the real moron.

  • i see, so anyone that uses their mind and therein disagrees with your lazy thinking processes and regurgitation of the socialist mass agenda disguised as health food for the country is a moron? well that's a twist on the term moron. are you re-writing the entire dictionary? and as far as sheep is concerned, you sir are the real sheep. you have bought what Obama is selling without giving any thought to it. you've got lazy mind syndrome. you are the sheep.

  • You're still a moron. I think it's funny that you're accusing me of "lazy thinking" and eating up what I guess you're calling political lies. My question is, how can you assume that? Because I am not senselessly(I stress the word senseless.) objectionable to every little thing? I don't shit a brick every time Obama thanks Bush? Please, sir, I assure you: you believe you are much smarter than you actually are, and your way of thinking is far from creative, or, exercised, even.

  • Apparently, iamoctopi has a magical machine that can measure the intelligence of individuals via Youtube comments. Unfortunately for him, I think it's broken.

  • I can't believe I just heard of this channel! Great stuff!

  • I love this guy! Listen and learn!

  • Obama is the System's Golden Boy, placed and groomed and trained to fool the stupid sheople into thinking that he is the ONE. One what?

    One big lie.

    To those who are aware of the political system and realities, just ask JFK what happens to people that really want to change stuff in that area.

    There is no way to win the fight against the system - the only way to win is not to play the game.

    Don't try to beat them, because you can't, and you'll wind up joining them!

    Make your own game.

  • I watched the inauguration today in my English lesson.

    I don´t like this Führer/ leader cult. Too many people see him as a Messiah. They a completely emotional, but politics is a sober matter.

    And the second thing: First he spoke of different religions which are represented in the USA, he spoke also about non-montheistic religions. And later he spoke about ONE god. Where is the logic?

  • There's no logic in an organization that uses the initiation of the use of force as the basis of all its actions. Therefore, bs-talk (propaganda) is the only thing they can use to keep people blind to the violence. As we can see, it is quite effective.

    All this Obama-worship has made me far to familiar with the taste of my own vomit.

  • Germany sent Lenin back to russia to begin the revoultion not America.

    And America hasn't become communist Obama's a good old Cappie...(sarcasim)

    I wish your country was communist long live communism!

  • Yes and the US fought against the communists I believe didn't it?

  • You obviously have been exposed to the official version which conveniently leaves out the well-known fact that both the US and Soviets were funded by the same people.

    In reality, the US and EU are organized precisely as the Soviets - a central bank, a self-appointing administration and a rubber stamp parliament. The administrators see to it that the people work for the bank. Pretty much true for every single nation today.

    You are a slave. You just don't see the barbed wire.

  • Who funded both and how much. I do not agree that both the US and EU are just as bad as the USSR domesticially but I am an anarchist do I oppose central banking and the state because both are monopolistic over given areas of the world.

  • *so I

  • wow Ocred you sound like a closet anti-semite, you people always like to use the word "banker" as a proxy for Jews.

  • Ummm.. Who said anything about Jewish people? I'm talking about criminals, murderers and slavers, and they come from all creeds.

    But nice try, troll-boy.

  • Now that's exactly what I wanted to hear!

  • If I understand correctly, you want to remove all government, and you find it to be to blame for all evil in the world. I wonder how you regard the function of the brain and central nervous system in the body. I see these things as governing bodies, and removing the government from a community to be somewhat like removing the central nervous system from a body. I haven't seen you offer an alternative where government wouldn't spontaneously form.

  • you would die and be lost without some kind of fascist hierarchy, because you are fully conditioned to lead this slave like life, as most of humanity .... mix in some religion and you get people like Bush or Obama leading you, fascist revenue-collectors ie (Police & judges) threatening you to comply and some army fighting for resources so your programed drones (ie. kids) find there future place in this pile of shit and indoctrinate them to think that consuming means being free!

  • Check out my free books 'Everyday Anarchy' and 'Practical Anarchy'... :)

  • i dont agree with you on everything but will admit you have some insightful eye opening points

  • dear stefbot,

    I'd love to give you some kind of donation, but I've stopped using all banks about 2 years ago!

    For me there is no easy way of giving people cash without using system slaves to do the transactions for me.

    I've opted out of this system now for 15 years and the last 2 years have been like hell, your constantly treated as a suspect no matter what you do and it will get worse.

    Day to day life is very much like anarchy out side of the system.

  • Comparing the government to the human brain reminds me of the four varnas from ancient Hindu philosophy. It makes a nice little metaphor, but it's religious nonsense.

  • Interesting technique. With every interpretable phrase in the speech, you chose to interpret it opposite the way I did. When Obama used "we" to describe Gov. you said he meant "all people", and vice versa. When Obama said Oil dependence has endangered the world, I thought he was talking about the war we had started. And how can you say that government doesn't have a responsibility for oversight of its own programs? Caution is good, but you're just pouring out cynicism. I pray you are wrong

  • hope and faith are just a lack of factual knowledge and information.

    an example: if your stuck in a bowl of shit, after a while you don't smell or see the shit, you accept it as part of your existence, in some cases even loving and praying over the shit!

  • No, hope and faith says there is a way out of a bowl of shit. It is the cynics who are convinced that the bowl of shit is all there is. You miss the fundamental point that though stefbot can see problems with every offered solution, he has never offered any solution himself. While his life might be pretty comfortable, and he has a dream of a better future, he has no better idea of how to get there than any of us. Faith means that you try *something*.

  • using religious terms that in it's self are a on going back failure as it is, and part of the problem as history has shown right up to this date.

    solution .... quite fairytales and stick to reality, maybe you can read or listen between the lines and understand that there are a shit-load of solutions held back by faithful backward thinking people using faith based religious terms, protecting fascists thugs in the process

  • stefbot, you never replied back. What happen? Lucky for you there are plenty of idiots to pat you on the back and make you feel better.

    Just say it you blame the US and its 44 Presidents for all the problems in the world... Boo...Hoo..

    Such a looser.

  • wow, tell me you didn't just misspell the word 'loser'...

  • Skirting the subject by hiding behind a typo.

    Say something with substance. Make an actually analysis of Obamas speech vs. his past political stance. Don't make a long winded whine session about the U.S. and hide it behind criticism of the speech.

    Be honest about what youre doing and just come out and say it, you hate the U.S.. Youre probably one of the radical Canadians that blame the U.S. because your countrys government made a bad deal with the U.S. on oil prices. Boo..Hoo..

  • Well,stefbot I do enjoy youre ideas and youre attempt to point out alot of the rhetoric/lies of these talking heads in our goverment. Iv'e noticed 2 things about you ,that often critisize "them" i.e. the statist 1. you DO NOT offer a plan or any type of PHYSICAL way to put youre ideas into action.You critisize anyone who ask you for a solution to the problems of statism . 2. I also notice you have the same intellectual arogance as "those" people in power.

  • you seem very certain of this...

  • Look I like alot of ideas you put out,I agree with you on most what you say regarding religion,economics,Not politics(libertarian).I dont know you personally, it just seems you dont reply with critisizm very well and come off as very arogant.

  • @stefbot Haha wow I just seen this comment after being on fdr for 18 months now.I don't even recognize that person who left the "arogant" comment,I have grown emotionally and intellectually into a completely unrecognizable person since then.Thanks steff and fdr community for helping me drop all my abusive relationships and drug use.I am going back to school for economics and hope to study at von mises inst one day.A slave attacking a fellow slave for daring to be free wow.

  • @usernameted1

    In order to make the world a better place it is imperative to have constructive thought. To change peoples minds, one must change their philosophy. It is a long term solution.

    For example the members of congress will debate a bill, they all have different ideas and opinions about it and they will, with a certain degree, be for it or against it. Sometimes they may want and amendment added or subtracted but this is based on their philosophical position, their ideas.

  • Comment removed

  • @hamblin31 The insistence that an honest description of a problem must simultaneously be accompanied by a list of solutions is immature. This expectation undermines our self-sufficiency and denies our responsibility. Facts and understanding can take time to ferment before a solution becomes apparent. Sharing ideas and perspectives can enable people see the system. Dismissing the truth as "unconstructive" because it doesn't come with a prepackaged solution denies the inherent value of trut

  • @usernameted1

    To insist on a physical, immediate answer is short term and doomed to fail in the end.

    Therefore in order to do the most good one must engage in a long term solution that is based on facts and logic.

  • @usernameted1 Actually, no-one is mandated to point to solutions, or ways to better this world. You have to start with yourself. The frame in which this man operates, I believe, points to solutions by not doing so. It's about NON COMPLIANCE. Most people who do not trust government would have you believe that we can combat violence by resorting TO violence. This is wrong on it's face. YOU and I and everybody are the capital that allow all this slaughter. Just say no.

  • George Carlin and Stef two like minded individuals you gotta love this guy check the facial expression at 27:23 Fuckin A

  • max headrom!!

    Your showing your age

  • As always, an insightful observation of our masters.

    Are you the old max headrom?

  • Great Work!

  • nice one, but, why so light and soft, I thought you would really get your teeth into it :-)

    state= a natianal organisation of paid thugs threatening you!

    Can I do without that? Sure ... no problem!

  • Obama spends $150MIL while families live in tents because these same Politicians and Wall Street killed our economy. Obama screws up his swearing in & looks the fool, has to do it over. Bidens wife reveals Joe had choice of VP or Sec. of State on Oprah dissin Hillary & her HillRaisers. That old black minister makes racist remarks. Rev Warren mentions Jesus and pisses off the GOD hating athiests. Ted Kennedy shits his pants at the lunch. Aretha tells people to shut up. WOW talk bout OBAMA DRAMA!D

  • I subscribe! I also much prefer depth that rhetoric. It's a pity we're still in an minority. The brainwashing mantras of the power brokers catches the idiots out EVERY time.

  • it's being called hope-nosis

  • If you have not read them yet I suggest everyone read, Brave New World, 1984 and Animal Farm.

    Mos people fail to understand the message of these books. They are about the state of psychological insecurity and the fear that comes with it, that over takes a society in decline.

    A social state that not only allows the rise of tyranny but demands it from their leaders.

    Or as Queen Amidala said in Star Wars

    "So this is how liberty dies to thunderous applause"

  • spot on stef.......

  • Watch Obama's somber face as he exits the Capitol for the Inauguration. Watch close. It seems to me, that he had just been ordered, instructed, or informed of something he is trying to comprehend-beyond his capacity of understanding. Look very close at the moment he walks down the hall to the outdoors... Hummm. he just found out he has to murder billions of people for the elite Rothschild family. Who knows, but he certainly, looked disturbed. Just an paranoid observation, 2 keep people invoked..

  • Paying attention to Obama is exactly what he wants because politicians are lieing attention whores that profit off of broken individuals. One should be careful on how much attention is given to anyone in his position.

  • Interesting observation do you have a link to a video of it.

  • Lol, you conspiracy nuts always crack me up.

  • "There was nothing but beady watchful eyes". No Stef there was nothing but eyes, but they without the incentive to be watchful they simply winked. Private watchdogs looking after their own money noticed most of the abuses well before the heavy-lidded eyes of the State.

  • "We choose unity..." blah, blah, If "we" choose unity, then how come 47% of "us" voted against what 53% voted for. Doesn't sound too united to me.

  • And that's just the people that voted.

  • Well... what can one say? You pretty much covered it. ... sigh. The only response I have is: moooo.

  • excellent video. simple. please keep it up.

  • This guy is awesome.

  • Perfect.

  • I didn't watch the inauguration. I thought it would be more humane to go watch an execution.

  • Stef is at his best when talking about current events. These are some of the best applications of ethics on the web.

  • WOW...as usual, stef is spot on with his diagnosis of the candy-coated, celebrity-filled, personality orgy that we Americans have had to sit through since election day.

  • yeah it makes sick too see the ignorance of so many ppl

  • It's amazing how, even with clear explanation and analysis, people only hear what they want to.

  • Don't be bothered by the haters Stef,you nailed it as always.

  • Brilliant and bold analysis as I have come to expect and look forward to since hooking up (thanks to mention in UK press). I'm trying to turn more people onto this but there's a lot of resistance where I would hardly have expected to find it (I now know why of course). Total Respect for what you are attempting to do and wishing you every success.

  • anyway, I totally realize that theres resistance being put up, so the best defense to this is to just disengage. thumbs down your comment by accident btw.

  • Every point he makes is about how the U.S. did this, and over through that government... Blah..blah...blah...from the country's inception. Our nation has launched a war and slaughter of civilians. That is called blaming the U.S. and just spewing hate about the country. He goes on to stating what he hates about the U.S. This post should be called, How I hate the U.S. Let me count the ways

  • One can't blame something which does not exist

  • The U.S. doesn't exist?

  • right. what you do have is people who interact in a voluntary basis and those who take by force .

  • Alright then, guess you need to let the rest of the world know that the United States does not exist.

  • One need not put any effort in something which does not exist.

  • You're making an effort now. Make up your mind. Is it worth it or not?
