Comment on Why Is Hollywood So Left Of Center? by Michael Redbourn

You’re very right!

I don’t often publish this http://redbourn.notlong.com but it seems in context here.

The relationship between technicians and actors is simply a working one because technicians can’t understand how a person that wakes up every day wanting to be somebody else (Hitler or Thatcher etc) should be paid so much!

Bats have large, bulging… Bulging what? Do they wear Batman-like codpieces? I thought they used echolocation better than seeing in the dark.

Actors end up this way because they make untold riches by doing very little. When you consider the work an entrepreneur needs to go through to make money and compare it to the types of revenue actors make and the effort they exert, they have a very distorted view on how money is made and how easily it comes.

I’m afraid of battery powered cars exploding acid all over the place if I get in an accident.

Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims’ story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States.

I am a believer that violent behavior will be exhibited regardless of the level of availability of the tools (weapons) to do so. Here in Arizona, where it’s very easy to get a gun, violent crime is less than Philadelphia, for example, where they are on a record pace for murders this year.

Might be worth checking out the story of a teen named Ben Breedlove who died last Christmas Day.

The vid has been watched by around a half a million people in the last month.

Job’s last words and the vid have the same message, and they intrigue me.

Spoken like a real loser!

Bosses provide the jobs and others get paid for doing them.

What’s the alternative?

Comment on Was Jesus Christ A Capitalist, A Socialist Or A Communist? by Big Believer

A system in which profits are put before people, a system in which the few elite benefit whilst the rest of the world either slaves away to make them benefit or simply lives in dire poverty.

Would Jesus really have supported that?

No he wouldn’t have, and he doesn’t.
