    That's the best rant i've heard in some time.
    To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.

    great rant IMO ... the power of anger and knowledge ... and the ability to express it

    “We are only their care-takers,” he posed, “if we take good care of them, then centuries from now they may still be here … ”

    He certainly won't be invited to the next Baleyville block picnic.

    I heard more anger than knowledge.

    I heard more anger than knowledge.

    He's not in a position to offer the point-by-point solutions, particularly while standing out in the street with a mob of people with microphones and assorted messages & motivations.

    About a year ago, I listened to an interview with one of the people who participated in the '79 Iranian revolution as one of the more legitimate protesters. It seems to be the case more often than not that the legitimate protesters are nothing more than useful idiots when the ones with ruthless political agendas start using street thuggery to foment a takeover.

    It happened in St. Petersburg, in Weimar Germany, and in Iran - a brutal minority managed to take power in the shadow of a more legitimate popular protest movement. Don't think for a minute that the real dirtbags in the crowd don't already have intimate knowledge of how it works.

    So did I ... much more ... but he obviously had some understanding of the issues, and seemed to be able to convey that fairly well for the situation and to the audience he had. It was a simple message, but it had some power, and truth.

    I think a lot of people are mad, but they can't articulate it at all, and they probably don't even understand the problems as well as he seemd to.

    Also, he wasn't asking for a hand-out, he was demanding a solution.

    All in all, I felt it was a good rant, and one that I tend to share.

    I heard a lot of knowledge expressed angrily. Considering the environment he was in, he had to express it angrily to get his message out without overwhelming his audience with facts some who were there wouldn't understand. A golly gee wizz attitude wouldn't cut it.

    Thanks for the link bronco!

    I think I heard the police aren't allowing the protesters to amplify their voices with any electronics.

    Its more projecting the voice than shouting. Some are probably better at that than others . To me he seems like he has had some experience speaking in public.

  • cohodkcohodk Posts: 19,102 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I guess my interpretation of "knowledge" is different than others. I did only listen to the first minute though. But that was enough to see that he was just repeating popular 'talking points" rather than having a full understanding of the facts. It also appeared that he was being spoon fed these talking points.

    In any case, he got his 15 min, er.. 7 min, so good for him.image However, if he is looking for answers, then I do not believe he could handle the solutions.

    I have to agree with one of the candidates - protestors are at the wrong address. He's recommending 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and I must say that I agree with him.

    that's what happens when you only read the first few lines of a post here too. Take the time to hear it all out before jumping to the what you think is the conclusion of what is really being stated and you may see things differently.

    Then hurry up and get to the point of your diatribe.image My attention will not be grabbed by repeating misinformation or popular mantras. I've said many times on this board that im not patient person. Time is money. Make it count. image

    The first link isn't the whole rant. There is another one here that has about a minute more at the front before the start of the other link. Even this one seems to start in the middle of a longer speech i'm not having luck finding

    Me too, I'm just disgusted with what our government has become. Work in it for a bit? Then go to work as a lobbyist. I wonder what Ike would say now if he could see what the "military industrial complex" has become.
