Jan 20, 2008 - People need to start to feel a little discomfort for once. I know many of my fellow countrymen/women would disagree with me.

Jan 20, 2008 - "Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ...

Jan 20, 2008 - I'm a mix of Irish (my dad), French and English (my mom). Though I think because I was born in Boston, live in Boston and will be buried in Boston...I really don't take any pride (nor am I ashamed) in my blood-line. Rather, I'm proud to be a Bostonian.

Jan 20, 2008 - by that logic it would mean that you invented pedophilia and televangelism... ...trust me, the Scot's are great, but they did not invent everything lol

We are all being hoodwinked my friend and markets are being manipulated all in the name of God Profit! 5/5

gratex Says:

Jan 20, 2008 - I added a link in the video description for ya. I don't feel "blaming the english" is ever a good thing to do. If the roles were reversed I'm sure the same thing would have happened (if it did happen :P)

Jan 20, 2008 - He didn't speak only French, he was born and raised in Scotland. Maybe you're thinking of Mary Queen of Scots, or Prince Charlie.

gratex Says:

Jan 20, 2008 - I did, and I got angry. Also, a bit of apathy. A whole pile of it in fact. Me being a veggie type I've minimised my suffering and destruction in that order. First I gave up milk, then soya milk, then all processed foods. The next step is non-local foods, which is a tough one considering where I live.

gratex Says:

Jan 20, 2008 - ok how's your cold?

MadBadVoodo Says:

Jan 20, 2008 - It is still kicking my ass! The big problem is I cant speak...

angryislander56 Says:

Jan 20, 2008 - I was thinking of attempting a video on it.Or do you think this is old information?

ImNoDhimmiDummy Says:

Jan 20, 2008 - I doubt they had enough...

MDEMONIC689 Says:

Jan 20, 2008 - It's not even that people turn away from the truth, it's just people are way too apathetic. Nobody feels they have a role to play, they feel what they do is somehow disconnected from everything else. The individual considers himself as such, but in reality the individual is really part of a larger whole. The belief one must act with haste due to a coming apocalypse is somewhat essential even if it is a half-truth.

AngrySkeptic Says:

Jan 27, 2008 - Gratex, you are not using sound economic theory in your appraisal of the corn market. The increased demand and prices of corn and corn products will spur increased production and innovation. Great American companies like Monsanto are working on new forms of our most basic crops that will greatly increase the yield. However, ethanol and the government subsidies that support it are a sham.

Feb 1, 2008 - I dont see the wide spread starveing of Mexicans in the near future,they come in to the U.S. at will, and work sending most of the money back to Mexico,Mexico's economy is better than ever, and will be for some time to come in my opinion.

Jun 1, 2008 - That biofuels are putting up food prices seems simple, it's a nice moral issue and offers an easy solution (cut the biofuels and all will be well). But the land used for biofuels just doesn't seem enough; the numbers don't look anything like right. An alternative would be droughts cause food commodity prices to rise -- and a slumping dollar causes a bail out into commodities.
