I think that was 2004.

I trusted his take mostly. But because he gave logical and complete explanations of why he thought that way. The hate mongers don't give logical reasons for what they believe. They either rely on religion to sway you, provide emotional explanations or just out and out lie.

But I understand a lot of people can't be convinced with logic, reason and intellectual arguments. In my case, I was pulling away from any belief in a god and questioning the whole idea of capitalism at the same time. So, I was looking for a show that would spark my intellect and not contradict what I knew to be true.
