Anyone interested in watching this and having a civil discussion about any parts covered?

G. Edward Griffin The Dangerous Servant A Discourse on Government

I'll just say I agree with much of Mr. Griffin's answers but not all.

Hmmmm, 62 people have read this post but not one response.....
No response either way. Amazing.

The stridency of this Rap infested diatribe against---Guess Who's fault it ALWAYS is!  May be the reason for the lack of comment.  It is a sad thing that white people cannot even defend themselves without being called racist.  That is why no comments child.

Vance, did you even watch this video?  I think you're talking about the one on church diversity rather than this one.  I'm not sure about everything Griffin says, eccentric to a degree, but he poses food for thought.  He's a critic of the federal reserve and has several conspiracy theories on several things.  I don't have time to sit for a hour and a half and watch it, though...

Don't worry about it.  Plenty of conversations here that don't pertain to bees.

hjon71,
I think a better "note to self" would be to keep it pithy!

For better or worse we live in a world of the 30 second sound bite.  Everyone's busy...

Asking folks to invest an hour and a half of their time to watch a video on the chance that they may want to discuss it is probably setting the bar a bit high in my opinion.

Moots- I suppose you are right. And I understand, I guess.....kinda.
But what does that say about us that we no longer have the ability to digest anything longer than a few minutes?

Vance- I am genuinely curious how either of the videos could lead to your comment.

hjon71,
Like I said, "for better or worse"    And I'm afraid you're right, it's "worse", but I was trying to keep it positive.   

Add it to the long and ever growing list of what's wrong with the world we live in.
