Around 28 minutes in he starts going on about asians, it would be funny if it weren't so weird. He says all Europeans are lazy (probably true) and that asians are insane hard working. Just weird. He describes a strange distopian ideal, government as a superficious corporation... at the service of the elites no doubt.

Mitt Romney scars me because he has stated (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0U9k7Jj_40) he wants to remove due process of law by denying the right to counsel (5th Amendment), continuing the abuse of habeas corpus (Art. 1 Sec. 9) and using 'enhanced interrogation techniques' (torture). That is something Hitler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_Fire_Decree)did. We have got to COME TO OUR SENSES!

I doubt many people truly understand how dangerous such thinking is. The terms 'habeas corpus' and 'due process of law' are over 800 years old! Sure, a republic fights with one hand tied behind its back. That is the nature of the right to DUE PROCESS OF LAW!

"The endangerment of private goods is captured nicely by an interchange between William Roper and St. Thomas More in Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons:

Roper: . . . . . . So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!

More: . . . . . . Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

Roper: . . . . . . I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

More: . . . . . . (Roused and excited) Oh? And when the last law was down, and the devil turned round on you--where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast--man's laws, not God's--and if you cut them down--and you' re just the man to do it--d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.[5]
