Glenn Beck proves again that he has zero street knowledge

I have studied gangs for many years, and there isn't one statement in Glenn Beck's video that you can take for a fact. He states that the kid was killed with a railroad tye - totally false. Anyone with a half an ounce of street knowledge could guess that is a board off of a park bench. How many skinny gang bangers can swing a 100 lbs railroad tye? He states that this happened because we took prayer out of the public schools and off of money. Not even a nice try - Beck - the seed for gang violence was planted in the 40s and 50s. The Chicago gang - the Cornell Square Rebels - killed two people and beat up two Chicago Police Officers all before the year of 1959, when their was prayer in the public schools. A 1957 New York Times article listed the words used by gang members so parents could listen and see if their kids were involved in gang activity. Beck - a little research before making a commentary goes a long way.

It goes to prove that I have forgot more about gangs than Glenn Beck knows.


Have fun listening to nothing! A brain is a terrible thing to waste!

Mr. William Michael Albert Broad AKA Billy Idol, was born November 30 1955 making him 54 years old today as I write this Nov 2009.

Steven Schneider AKA, Steve Stevens was born May 5 1959 making him 50.

On August 2, 2009, Taitz released and attached to court documents what she alleged to be an authentic Kenyan birth certificate. The document purports to have been issued by the "Republic of Kenya"; such a state did not yet exist at the time of Obama's birth as indicated on the document (Kenya was a Dominion of the British Crown until 1963). Additionally, Mombasa, the city indicated on the certificate as Obama's birthplace, was not located in Kenya, but in Zanzibar. Subsequently, evidence was unearthed that the alleged Kenyan birth certificate is apparently a modified version of a 1959 Australian birth certificate found on an online genealogy website.

Note to self: never trust Wikipedia.

From the Beatles Bible:

One of Lennon and McCartney's earliest songs, I'll Follow The Sun was written in 1959 at McCartney's family home in Allerton, Liverpool.

"I wrote that in my front parlour in Forthlin Road. I was about 16. I'll Follow The Sun was one of those very early ones. I seem to remember writing it just after I'd had the flu and I had that cigarette - I smoked when I was 16 - the cigarette that's the 'cotton wool' one. You don't smoke while you're ill but after you get better you have a cigarette and it's terrible, it tastes like cotton wool, horrible. I remember standing in the parlour, with my guitar, looking out through the lace curtains of the window, and writing that one."

Actually, Paul was 17 years old in 1959.

Hawaii, became a state of the United States of America, on August 21, 1959.

President Barrack Obama, born August 4, 1961.

So, any date on OR after, August 21, 1959, ANYONE, born in the area known as Hawaii, *IS* an American citizen.

This is the point i'm making. Her system demands all of these things that you've listed, and i'm saying that it would be no more successful or ideal than the system we have now UNLESS everyone was perfect. Worse in some ways, better in others.

It seems as though you're of the opinion that i think SHE demands perfection, and that isn't the case. I say that she is mistaken in her view that allowing humans utmost freedom to create and exchange will create a better world by definition. I say that allowing humans utmost freedom simply allows a bastard to be more of a bastard.

I think that her system would only work IF people were perfect. Therefore the question "Why do you need a system to govern people who are perfect?" is not something i should have to, nor could i answer. I'm not saying "This is the best system to govern people who are perfect." I'm saying, this would only work if people WERE perfect.

And of course, if people WERE perfect, any self contained system would work perfectly and indefinitely, as you so accurately pointed out.

The only valid point of your argument, as far as i can understand it, is that i shouldn't be making judgements about what humans MAY do under a new system based on what they DO under the current one. But if you're trying to suggest that all humans would shed greed and jealousy if we adopted a system under which they were completely free, i think you're naive about the human race.

And, as previously stated, i am no expert on rand's ideas or theories, i know very little from what i have gathered from the book i have read, which i have been told is in many ways a platform for her to voice her theories about politics and sex and other stuff.

Perhaps if i was able to have a conversation with someone who knew it back to front, then i would be able to give a better opinion on whether or not it would work. It's not something i have studied nor do i wish to study. As i understand her system, it wouldn't be much better overall than what we have now because of human nature.
