Thom Hartman is a great person whom i've learned a great deal unfortunatley he isn't smart enough to realize the evil "Republicans" he hates so much... Are funded by the EXACT same people as the "Democrats. There is truly only one party.....

33:51 LOL!!!! President Obama took more money from Wall st. during his run for office than any other candidate in American history. This show is so intellectually dishonest, it's pathetic.

If you like this you will love Jacque Fresco's The Venus Project, its Resource-based solution, and the movement precipitating from it: The Zeitgeist Movement.

"Money/market" is ROOT of problems.

Automation & cheap labor = NO JOBS = No consumers = capitalism is over

NOW we can:

1. FREELY Share ALL resources & knowledge worldwide, NO more money/property

2. Use LATEST technology to create an ABUNDANCE of all our needs, NO more waste/theft

3. Automate/localize ALL production and distribution, NO more central control/wage slavery

Thank you Thom for bringing on the Icelandic economist. So little of this people power protest has been reported in US media, yet it is information we direly need.

Raising polygamy is a dishonest and poor argument at many levels. First, it is a slippery slope argument that has no merit in a debate.

Second, it has no direct relation with gay's right to marry.

Third, it serves to mislead from the crux of the matter, that disallowing gay marriage is unfair and a form of discrimination.

Fourth, it actually supports gay marriage in the sense that "tradition" is a poor argument against, seeing that we have already moved on from biblical polygamy.

[wildreams]

The shift from traditional polygamy to marriage between 2 people is in fact seen as a progressive movement because polygamy at that time is defined to be between 1 men and many wives. In that relationship, women were at a disadvantaged but accepted that arrangement anyway due to their social status at that time (a lesser sex with less rights). So restricting marriage to between 2 people helped empower women at that time.

Disallowing gays the right to marry does nothing but discriminate.
