Great show! I’ve especially enjoyed him commenting on Twitter :” if you’re typing what you’re doing you’re not actually doing it” As a huge fan of Twitter and new media I appreciate his criticism.

Thumbs up generally. An interesting and engaging man, and - as with so many good comics - more than a little melancholy.

is it not the euro-American's to create in all levels of media to act like the crusaders one way or the other. As they Continue to bring the God game to a land that was once free with no illusions of a disgusting brutal history towards humankind such be the god believers way. But it is to late America has repeat european history. In the short end of it all was it not our forefathers who cut the rope of europe to create freedom as it was and not as it is today?.

your quotes, in order:
1--two is not a multitude, no matter how "poetically true" it sounds, but i'll allow it

2--(a)Of course violence is "only" concealed by a lie, ALL things are, including BEING NICE. That's the nature of a lie to conceal SOMETHING. So the first part of the saying is not the whole truth.
--(b)The "Lie" can be "only" maintained by distracting people aswell, or misdirection, or hypnosis. Even if it's INEVITABLE that you would have to use violence at some point, you could say the same for distraction, or the other stuff I mentioned. So it's not ONLY violence. So the second part of the saying is not true AT ALL.

3--If you use only violence to get things done, why not have truth as your principle? It seems you're gonna get into more fights if you're always honest. You'd have to start lying to AVOID using violence as your "method".

4--This one's correct I think.

5--Silent freedom is NOT freedom silenced. In fact the converse may be true, that your chances of remaining free are increased if you don't go on about it, in certain circles anyway.

Hope I wasn't TOO presumptuous or arrogant. A vain hope indeed. (pun intended).

"If they had devoted half the time, all 24 hour news cycles, to any problem that we have as a nation, we could of solved it". I wouldn't doubt it.. Great talk, very entertaining.
