There is nothing to lose, and everything to gain by getting on board now.
I have watched and own both Zeitgeist DVD's. I found the second one kind of a let down.
People seem to be so easily bent toward arguing semantics or detail. The Zeitgeist movie attacks many at a core (religion) that shut many minds away from its b...

wannabechef said… - I'd love to grow the majority of the food I eat. Sadly, I have to settle for a meager garden. There's a law on the books in town here that won't let me turn the majority of my yard into a garden... so I just grow some various berries, peppers and such along side the house.
I'd also like to try hunting at least once. I am a hunting advocate because of the deer overpopulation problem here (and everywhere I've lived) but I have no land available to me for hunting. That and I don't trust the woods when a bunch of yahoos who maybe touch a gun once a year are out there... I'd probably do muzzle loader hunting; longer season, less yahoos and I've always enjoyed owning and firing blackpowder guns.
And the meat thing... well, not eating meat wouldn't actually solve the hunger problem in the world because the main proponents of veg/vegan feeding the world fail to take into account: not all land is arable, and not all food animals need grain. But there's nothing wrong with vegetarians or vegans... as long as they don't choose to get in my face about my diet decisions.
My dad's a Vietnam vet who served 22 years in the US Army... he also, funny enough, had anti-Iraq war signs in his yard in the lead up to the war. For a veteran, I've been told he's quite unpatriotic for not shutting his mouth and going with the flow. No one who has ever said that ever served in a war... It often makes me wonder how the military does such a good job keeping the idiots out of the ranks and keeps them in close proximity to me. Conspiracy, perhaps?
Despite my gun ownership and my desire to try to become energy and food independent (I'm thinking solar arrays... when we have even more money than what we're currently sinking into renovations), I am a huge fucking liberal. I believe that gays are people too. And that they should have the same rights to see their partners in the hospital that you or I do/can enjoy. I also believe that some things should be held so sacred as to hold them for the public good, and not for private profit. Medicine is one. Education another. Water is a third. I believe that better education in this country could help with a lot of problems we have, but that parents need to set an example. If you don't read in front of your children, they're far less likely to develop an appreciation for books and learning. I'm actually down with good old fashioned socialism, too. I also believe that the biggest failure in our alledged free-market system is greed. The base product of a free-market (in the words of many an economist who theorized about such a thing) would be a market glutted with many producers in each industry who would be flooding the market with high quality products in a game of one-up-manship for a decent market share... instead we have few companies all producing crap. Crap cars, crap clothes, crap appliances... crap, crap and more crap. And no jobs for any of us to make the crap being shilled to our fellow Americans...
Remember life before NAFTA? That was kinda cool, from what I remember.

I put this in a forum discussion about introducing yourself. . .I thought it applied here:
Hello to all,
I'm Willie. I'm a severely disgruntled Iraq veteran. I was wounded in Iraq and I spent a few years at Walter Reed in DC recovering. In addition to a few aches and pains (I didn't loose limbs thankfully) I suffer from PTSD. I live with my wife and kids in West Virginia. Before Iraq I was a pre-med student. Since then, I've reconsidered life and found my passion. Woodwork is my art, and I build early American restoration pieces. I'll admit that so far, I'm a starving artist. (Glad I get that little V.A. check)
Anyway, hi. If I happen to get snippy or weird, just tell me to take my meds and go to my happy place. Sometimes I can get slightly opinionated. My friends often tell me that honesty might not be the best policy for me. In Iraq, my superiors would often advise me that my negative attitude kept me from advancing through the ranks. They complained that it harmed the morale of my fellow soldiers. I had problems understanding why I was there. (Oh yeah, that's right. I signed up. When my enlistment ran out, the Army said sorry but we still need you. That's why I was there.) Where were the weapons? I didn't care to hear that I was helping Iraq take it's first baby steps toward democracy. I wanted to see some weapons of mass destruction. You get the picture.
I have the same problem now that I'm home- attitude. I'm supposed to get with the program and support change. But I'm not on board with Obama. He said we have to kill Bin Laden. Why do we have to hunt down and kill Bin Laden? Even if Bin Laden were on the FBI terrorism fugitive list for 9/11, (which it makes no mention of) doesn't the constitution say we have to give him a trial? I know I'm being a party pooper. I should just join the "progressives" or shut up. Barack also wants to pull the troops from Iraq and put them into Afghanistan. Go ask the Russians about taking on Afghanistan.

WWIII is coming; do you have good seats?
Remember those bomb shelters everyone was building in the 50’s and 60’s? Maybe it would be a good idea to try to purchase the properties those are built on. Here’s a little sample from Fox News, Dec. 4, 2008:
Israel is drawing up plans to attack Iran's nuclear facilities and is prepared to launch a strike without backing from the U.S., an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.
Officials in the Israeli Defense Ministry told The Jerusalem Post that while they prefer to act in consultation with t… Continue
