Bill Maher's "Religulous" - Must See

I saw Bill Maher's "Religulous" movie yesterday. In case you didn't know it, religion is dangerous, evil, stupid. But then that is just preaching to the choir.

Many funny moments, and many informative but scary moments. A lot of wackos out there.

Yes, Maher does frequently interrupt some wacko or another that he is interviewing. While that detracts a bit from him, can't blame him for it -- a greater bunch of losers, idiots, and fanatics he put together in one collection you couldn't imagine. Until you see the movie.

Oil Wars in the Mid-East (Iran, Iraq) - the Reason is Out-of-Control Population Growth

Why the Wars for Oil in the Mid-East cesspools of Iraq and Iran (coming soon)? The reason is out-of-control overpopulation growth.

If people worldwide had not -- and were still not -- breeding like effing cats, rats and dogs with no thought of consequence, there would not have been a "need" to go to those cesspool Arab lands filled with humans even stupider than those in the U.S., Europe, Asia, India, and South- and Central-America, in search of oil.

If not for a population far in excess of sustainable carrying capacity, the effing Arab wogs would have remained impoverished, backwater, irrelevant, if it were not for their oil. So, all the breeders have caused a hornet's nest, empowered by oil money, to be loosed upon the world.

And "our" governments don't mind -- Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Gore -- THEIR asses are safe, and they have a great "excuse" to increase control over the sheeple, and me as collateral damage.

Eff'em all -- the power-sucking governments -- politicians and bureaucrats. Eff'em all -- the slave religions and their sheep -- the Christians, Jews, Muslims.

Ron Paul for President? No Way. Why? Two Words.

Two words:

Goldwater 1964.

More words:

Barry Goldwater was the Republican Party nominee for President of the U.S. in 1964.
He ran against the incumbent President Democratic Party hack Lyndon Johnson.
He lost. Big Time.

What was Goldwater's message? Very similar to that of Ron Paul's today.
Barry Goldwater was classified as a conservative. A rather radical one at that. But he got press coverage.

Ron Paul is classified today simply as a radical. He gets negligible media coverage.

In contrast with Goldwater, Ron Paul is not even going to get the Republican nomination.
(If he does, I will reconsider my philosophical beliefs regarding "God" and miracles.)
He is not going to be elected President, neither as a Republican nor as an independent nor as a libertarian (either capital or lower case "l").

Why?

It would take an intelligent and informed populace with a subset of intelligent and informed voters to vote for someone other than a Republicrat or Demopublican.
Think that will happen? Fuggedaboudit.
It would take a majority of voters to be intelligent and informed.
Look around you. Most people, including voters, are stupid and ignorant. 'Nuff said.

Well, a few more words:

"Nothing has been more amply demonstrated during the past three thousand years than this: that the great majority of men do not esteem, or understand, or even desire personal liberty." [Freeman Tilden, from A World in Debt, 1936.]

"... monstrous economic delusions have never once, in history, been removed by being exposed
in printed form by thinkers upon the subject." [Freeman Tilden, from A World in Debt, 1936.]
