This guy is so brilliat its creepy. No pizzazz, no loud mouthed rhetoric, no forceful vociferous damnation, a very resolute and well-studied man who sees through lots of the bullshit

To flesh out the thing that frustrates me the most, it is the idea of activism vs. passivism. The answer to these problems is not to sell your stuff, or stop reading PEOPLE or watching PGA tournaments. You don't have to quit your job at Corporation X (though you could publicize their wrongdoing or vocalize your diappointment internally). Liking nice clothes is not the same as murdering people abroad---it is one of the basic human drives, to covet, that can produce good behavior like lawfulness, hard work, effort, etc. But ignoring your government's actions is tantamount to evil when they have so much unchecked power

i love being a liberal

i believe in a lot of "liberal" political ideals, but I also love liberalism as in open debate, open government, greater freedom for all people. When you hate people and new ideas the world is not very funny, its just very scary.
