That's my exit strategy as well. I've got friends already in The Netherlands and England, and my brother married into Australia. Apparantly, that place is as close to America as you can get outside of America. And by that I mean, all the good stuff but none (or very little) of the bad.

I watched the whole thing on youtube, all nine parts. By itself, of course it's extremely educational. But viewing it under the context of other things I've seen over the past year, it has only further galvanized the need for change, highlighted how dire our situation really is, and outlined the cause of corruption thus far, not just the means of that corrumption.

What's wrong with Mark Ecko?

I thought it was alright. It doesn't have anything to do with Scientology though. The movie Battlefield Earth is based on some of L. Ron Hubbard's earlier works. Granted, Hubbard is also the founder of Scientology (which is just crazy), but the two have nothing to do with eachother. Being a scifi author, he wrote the stories that were the basis for Battlefield Earth well before Dianetics. So, what does Battlefield Earth and Scientology have to do with eachother? Except for the fact that they were authored by the same person, nothing.

Just to clarify:
Scientology is laughable.
L. Ron Hubbard was a conman (but a pretty good one considering how much money he made off lying to people).
I didn't think Battlefield Earth was such a bad movie.

I was really hoping for Jason Statham as 47. I'm very displeased.

Posting in epic win thread.

Oh man that is awesome. "Fuck you up old style." How the hell did she not know those were wav binds? I thought for sure when you played those it made your PTT icon light up.

If only humans could work together that well.

Now there's an idea.

*save (don't know if I can yet), but this is damned interesting.

I punched a baby once. But in my defence, he was being a total jerk.

In reply to your comment:
“I'll admit that I once punched a racoon. He had it coming though.”

Same here, I used to tape it all the time. Man, that was a long damn time ago. I'd completely forgotten about this.

I think it would almost be worse to be a part of a space station crew, or on board an orbiter mission at the time. Everyone below and all of civilization has been incinerated, you're the last of the species -- the last of any species (on earth) -- and all you've got to look forward to in the wake of your good fortune to be spared is a slow cold death in hard vacuum as your logistics begin to run dry.

Of, course I'm just being silly.
But seriously, for Michio Kaku, and Ray Kurzweil, two individuals for whom my respect for each independently approaches a kind of singularity in and of itself, to begin to come togther ideologically... That's like some kind of Epic Level Geek Porn right there.

No problem. Did you find all the rest of them okay? I finally got around to posting the whole thing here -- as in, each keynote address; I'm thinking about going back and editing the description of each to include links for all the videos.
