He makes a lot of common sense, and doesn't care whose toes he's stepping on.

... that the person who warned us about the Military Industrial Complex was one of our nations greatest military heros.

We would be doing every person in this country a great favor if he listened to Eisenhower NOW.

We owe our patriotic young people a massive amount of our national soul.

We are so accustomed to perpetual war in such an Orwellian fashion. Why do our world leaders casually suggest a nuclear war to solve a problem? Do they have any fucking clue as to the magnitude of human suffering that would create?

All they do is give us more and more unnecessary stuff to live in fear about. Evil and stupid is a bad way to run the entirety of the worlds institutions and governments, son.

Could you all just make a better world and let us bottom 99% enjoy healthy happy and productive lives? Stop treating us like factory farmed cattle.
