Agreed, good speech. 'Guns or butter'? I'll take the butter unless it's stopping genocide like the Serbs in Bosnia.

Been a big fan of Dr. Kaku for years, the man is wicked smart.

I just listened to some of it.

Regarding the quote by Eisenhower "You can not fight a war when over half your people want Peace".

The problem is that since that time the Warmongers have perfected their propaganda machine to the point where they can bump that number up to 60% pretty much anytime they want too as evidenced by the snow job that both Bush I and Bush II were able to pull off with Iraq.

I mean we are up against professional marketing firms when it comes to this shit.

The problem isn't propaganda. The problem is end-stage capitalism.
