Thanks for the rating. I must be out of it, but I don't understand your comment. Just gettin' old, I guess!

I guess I owe a real comment. Hm... Nice video. (there's a safe bet!) Everyone wants someone to hate because we like to think we can hold someone other than ourselves responsible for our problems. The Man, the white man, the devil, the Jews, the terrorists, the government... Sometimes we hate people for good reasons, but a lot of the times, no. :P Maybe someday we'll be able to only hate the people who need to be hated. xD

Glad that you stuck with it for the 3rd attempt. Very thought provoking piece. 5 stars.

First is a comment used by a lot of people to celebrate being the first to respond to a video. It's trivial, it doesn't contribute, and most people don't really like it. But sometimes it's hard not to. ; ) I'm not sure if that's the part you don't understand, but I think it's a... safe... guess.

Now I feel really stupid. I go along thinking that I'm smart, and suddenly I'm struck with a huge STUPID ATTACK! I dunno. Is that what I have to look forward to in my "golden years?" Yikes! First! I get it now. Shoulda gotten it before! ;->)

Awesome Larry. Fantastic video response and so poignant! In Elaine Pagel's book The Origin of Satan, she includes in the intro: "The anthropologist Robert Redfield has argued that the worldview of many peoples consists essentially of two pairs of binary oppositions: human/nonhuman and we/they."

I liked the ending. It's very easy to make promises you won't have to keep.

"Hierarchies of what ever kind do not want to be obsolete. It is in their interests that their goals never actually be achieved." Sagaciously said. Enjoyed your hearing your paper.
