I think this economic recession is is just another "shock" by our own government to lure our attention away from the unjust laws they are trying to pass.

The problem with this thesis is that in as people on the left like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Che who sought to remake people. By contrast people like Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell argue that human being are flawed and as such institutions must be designed around that. Freidman argued that the government is where greedy men rule over other greedy men, and as such government must be minimal.

Agreed. They're employing the very techniques they are shunning. Not to say that they aren't bad. But, then again. Maybe humans need to be shocked and desensitized in order to understand it all.

While I admit that this is pretty powerful it takes a higher level thinker to realize that using the juxtaposition of torutre and reganomics is specious and incendiary. Look deeper and you may too see that this documentary is also employing 'shock' to reduce you to child like thinking to that you will immediately accept the ideas proposed without really thinking about it

i guess it's a fight fire with fire kinda thing, maybe cuz it's a language the American people have been conditioned to speak best. at any rate, i just want to wake people up & i don't really care if i do it "wrong", nor do i presume to know what the "right" way would be, but for the love of humanity it is time to do something!
