I love how Margaret Thatcher is always used as an example of a great female leader. In fact if you've ever lived in the UK or know a little about it's history, you'll know that she was very unpopular because she was so far right. She privatized everything the government had putting millions of people out of work, raised taxes on the poor, lost a shitload of money and sank the economy into recession.
She only gained applause when she narrowly won back the Falklands islands. And that wasn't her.
@needtoalwayslearn Man, video recording is a recent invention. I'm not naturally conditioned to see two people who I know to be dead to be talking to each other.
Two days ago I was watching a debate between Hitchens and Dembski at the end of which I had to remind myself that I won't be able to look forward to another.
In a way, video makes people immortal. It captures a moment of their lives and for a brief time you can observe them as if they were alive.
@64jamiewhitehouse Rather he says Thatcher than Gordon Brown. Or even worse Obama.

It's quite a surreal experience watching two dead men talk to each other.
