because people lie to get out of torture, because torture is a punishment without proven guilt for example.

Good food for thought. I would have thought that more torture in movies was just Hollywood pushing the envelope as usual. But I think you're right. It's getting so speaking out against torture makes you "unAmerican." And that's a sure sign of fanatical patriotism.

People remain submissive and powers remain intact through binary thought patterns. False dichotomies like us vs. them, bad vs. good. he illusion of objective value keeps people doing "what is right" rather than acting out of personal value and sovereignty. Might makes right only as long as certain people know what is right more than others. All systems are in place for control.

Great video. 5 stars.

It starts by being active in local politics.  Information and transparency will do a lot to put pressure on our representatives, thus shaping change in a positive way. Once that goes, it's game over. I may be too optimistic but I think the net is essential to help steer things into a better direction along with our incoming administration who is far from perfect but is really setting a new tone away from Bush and pals. Let's keep a tight leash on them and keep the pressure on.

9/11 and resultant Bush exploitation will hopefully reverse the tone of law enforcement that has emerged under his watch. This new administration will be a defining test of our system, to see how much they unwind and how much the sheeple will press for it beyond the elective act. I hope we as a collective utilize the tools we have to effect change to unwind the lunacy Bush has contributed. We live in a system that still gives us an active voice if we just use it.

A Clockwork Orange was banned in England for a few decades, supposedly because of the gang violence. I think the real reason it was banded had to do with what became of Alex's henchmen who didn't get arrested. They became POLICE OFFICERS!

Don't you mean Randi, as in James Randi the Magician? I hope you don't mean that total lunatic Ayn Rand!
