This video shows Santorum doesn't even know what "separation of church and state" means. He's acting as if it means religious persons are not allowed to run for office or participate in political campaigns. Nothing could be further from the truth. The establishment clause of the first amendment prohibits any kind of religious test for public office (redundantly to Article IV's explicit No Religious Test clause).

Right to work: I have the right to demand unions represent me even if I don't pay union dues.

That's an incorrect assessment. Nothing forces corporations to pay union workers the same as non-union workers or give them the same benefits. Union negotiations don't necessarily have any effect on non-union workers. Union workers have effectively formed a cartel to raise prices, and in a free market, competitors would be free to come along and undercut them by working for less money or working on more flexible terms (c.f. the massive bureaucracy involved in firing blatantly incompetent teachers due to teachers' unions).

Every year, America’s largest private prison companies – The GEO Group, Inc., Corrections
Corporation of America (CCA), and the Management & Training Corporation (MTC)—pour
hundreds of thousands of dollars into the campaigns of governors, state legislators, and judges, in the hopes
of advancing their political agenda—establishing more private prisons and reducing the number of public
ones. Despite significantly higher rates of inmate-on-guard assault, violence, and escapes in broad daylight
in private prisons than in public,[1] these companies’ strategy of pay-to-play has proven successful. A state
think tank in Ohio recently documented a 48 percent increase in private prison inmates between the year
2000 and 2009—leading almost 8 percent of incarcerated Americans to be housed in private prisons by the
end of the decade.[2]

Those who oppose prison privatization make the case that the industry has the incentive and the wherewithal to extend the amount of time convicts will remain in prison, and that this presents a threat to justice. The industry, they say, can extend sentences in two ways. First, it has thrown its influence, through lobbying and campaign contributions, behind “tougher” laws such as "three strikes", mandatory minimum sentencing, and "truth in sentencing" that increase the duration of sentences. The conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has been extremely active in advocating truth-in-sentencing and three strikes policies throughout the United States. This organization is heavily funded by the corrections industry, and indeed ALEC's Criminal Justice Task Force is co-chaired by Brad Wiggins, a former director of business development for the Corrections Corporation of America (Bender, 2000). The strength of these kinds of political influence, opponents fear, will only increase as the industry grows. As one observer notes, corrections corporations have "paid handsomely to play the public policy game, and will likely do so again"(O'Connell, 2002).

The second way opponents of privatization worry that private firms will distort the administration of justice is by exerting undue influence on parole hearings. Opponents argue that since prison firms are generally paid per prisoner per day, they have an incentive to extend inmate stays as long as possible, and so are liable to reduce prisoner’s chances for parole or good time off by exaggerating or fabricating disciplinary infractions (DiIulio, 1990).

Industry supporters point out in response to these concerns that industry campaign contributions are smaller than those made by public sector unions ( Moore, 1998). There is no evidence, they say, of private prison officials manipulating parole decisions.

Which countries are we comparing to the US incarceration rate? The ones where the government kills you without a fair (or any) trial? The ones where women are still enslaved? Two million incarcerated out of 300 million...go ahead, boost the number imprisoned to 10 million, that's still one-thirtieth of the population.

America has some of the highest rates of crime and imprisonment of most developed nations per capita.
I bet most Americans don't even know that... or believe that the freedom and democracy makes the US a safer place to live.
but why?
Culture? Too much sense of individualistic entitlement?
Guns? How might criminality be linked psychologically to arming individuals that suggests a constitutional entitlement to personal violence?
System? Does Imprisonment reduce re-offending? are long jail time sentences better than rehabilitation? Are sentences appropriate to crimes committed?
Everyone's focused on reducing crime and not asking if the cycle of punishment may be part of the problem.



You forgot about all the non-banana-republics with lower crime rates and lower incarceration rates than the US. e.g., most of north/western europe and most of what used to be the British empire.

i'm not sure that will be the case. i think they're going in the WoW direction and catering to both hardcore and casual gamers. plus i'm not sure how the linked account system is going to work, but from what i could gather, you can pretty much pay for your game time through your AH transactions. if you decide to go that route anyway.>> ^ponceleon:
Hours on a single boss... actually that does NOT sound like fun. When you add in the whole game money being linked to real money and then factoring in that repairs will be expensive after continuous wipes... yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if this is not going to be a very frustrating game from a financial perspective.

I really hope they don't turn this into an at-home arcade where you have to put in money to continue playing...




It won't be a subscription-based game. They will make money on transaction fees in the real money auction house.

Greetings and Salutations !
I am writing this message in regards to your channel " Future" . I would like to ask that the description be updated, so as to fully explain in point form what the channel may be used for. It may seem to you as though it is self explanatory but I just went to find out if I put my fantastic new video in the proper channel, and I have no answer, the description is lacking substance and could be considered obtuse.
I am sure others have this problem, I do not know if its been said before, but I know for a fact nothing gets done if nothing is said.
Thanks for your time.


Any videos about the future go there. It's unmoderated.

That's the problem with the Blame America First mindset, believing the rest of the world is made up of innocent countries populated by angels who NEVER fight, but then mean old USA comes along and look: WARS!
What will you do when red china and iran ignore the Golden Rule?


FYI the Iran Hostage crisis was Iran's revenge for the CIA-supported 1954 coup which overthrew their decent elected government and replaced it with a brutal dictator who violently cracked down on all political opposition to himself. The hostage-takers' only demands were that the US apologize for the 1954 coup, return the dictator to Iran for trial, and promise not to meddle in the internal affairs of Iran again. Those are perfectly reasonable demands that the USA should have done in the first place before the hostage crisis. But the hostage crisis put them in the akward position that the "right thing to do" was also "giving in to terrorists" and Ronald Reagan's massive testicles could not abide doing something that would please a terrorist even if it was the right thing to do regardless.

It's so ironic that most of those republicans booing him claim to be Christian. The most central teachings of Jesus were nonviolence, pacifism, charity, anti-hypocrisy, humility, and the golden rule (which sort of implies the first four). In short, the exact opposite of what these republicans want from a politician. Read the sermon on the plain and the sermon on the mount. Those are the actual teachings of Jesus. The rest of the new testament is trivialities and supernatural horseshit.
