		<description>&lt;em&gt;All in all, I think it was worth my time.

â€œWe shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.â€

-Albert Einstein 

Comment by Neal â€” March 18, 2006 @ 9:35 pm &lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;m afraid I couldn&#039;t get to the end.  It wasn&#039;t what I&#039;d call a quality program - not by CNN standards, or even 2006 standards.  I thought it was boring, after the opening,  and a very shallow perspective of the real problems -and previous 60 Minutes shows.  Nothing new or eye-opening for people like us who stay in touch with reality.  I imagine this show was aimed at the average American who knows very little about the problems facing us.  I am happy that at least they acknowledged the problem enough to make and air a program about it... perhaps too late, but better late than never...  maybe.</description>

		<description>I just saw Brzezinski on Blitzer&#039;s Sunday show - this is more evidence of how the &quot;opposing&quot; voices are treated on television.
Brzezinski mentioned the &quot;Mission Accomplished&quot; of three years ago, and Blitzer firmly, and quickly, corrected him, saying those words were on the banner, and not what Bush said.  
I am not always in agreement with Brzezinski, although in this case I am, but I was stunned by how quickly a misstatement was trounced because it was not entirely accurate, but words by Bush&amp;Co are seldom, if ever challenged, but instead, enhanced, repeated, and treated as fact.</description>

		<description>Marie,

I know what you mean. Can you believe that Brazil (argueably still a third-world country) is in a better situation than us when it comes to energy sustainability and independence??


Nonsense. All the world&#039;s oil goes on the open market. Only the commies try and protect the consumer by selling locally at a loss. A loss is a loss and Brazil or any other supplier country can&#039;t keep it up. Oil costs what it costs and that&#039;s the truth. But if you like Brazil and think they&#039;ve got it better than us go ahead and move there. You&#039;ll be back.</description>

Our politicians are in bed with big oil. That is the ONLY hurdle that is preventing our nation from moving past our oil addiction. Period!!</description>

I watched it and I was a little let down as you were, and for the same reasons.  Perhaps for some people it will be an eye opener and that is a good thing.  I was impressed by Brazil.  The interviews with the CEOs here, however, simply allowed them to portray themselves as better than they are in truth.
It did offer a grim view into the future as we become more dependent on oil.  It&#039;s so obvious that we should have been working on this since the mid 70&#039;s and we saw the first crisis, but as my father always said -- &quot;money talks&quot; and profits rule the world.</description>

		<description>After marrying Mr. Aphrodite - my â€œshining armourâ€ Republican - I started to understand the stance better. Most Repubs are good people who love God, their families, their country, and their neighbors. They arenâ€™t perfect and know it. They contribute to charity and pitch in.

		<description>So I just finished watching &quot;We Were Warned&quot; and, as I had expected, half of it was hard-hitting truths and half of it was BS. I cannot believe the majority of their interviews were with the oil and auto industry!!! Ya these people who are profitting off oil like crazy are really going to supply our answers to this problem and give an unbias assesment of our future with oil. America is addicted to oil and these guys are our dealers!! That&#039;s what pissed me off about the show. I also was very upset that they did not factor global warming in one bit!! I mean come on, climate change should be reason in itself for us to kick our oil addiction! 

However, the show did make some very good and valid points as well. I thought the &quot;hypothetical&quot; situation in 2009 was an excellent example of what WILL happen if we don&#039;t change our oil ways. It showed how much our oil dependency is linked to national security. I thought their coverage of Brazil&#039;s ethonal industry was great (Brazil&#039;s energy comes 40% from sugar cane!! And why can&#039;t we do that??). I also liked at the beginning of the show when they interviewed the former CIA guy and the oil analyst who wrote that book. 

All in all, I think it was worth my time.

&lt;em&gt;&quot;We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>And one more thing Mighty Moron,

I hate to point out the obvious, but with someone as retarded as you I know it&#039;s necessary.  Using your superior &#039;legal logic&#039;, every time you call me &#039;RyAnne&#039;, you are in fact making a &#039;gender related comment&#039;, which in your terminology means you&#039;re talking about &#039;sex&#039;.

So while hypocrisy and stupidity are the norm among republicans - to us, you just like like the biggest idiot 14 year old boy in the world.

Bahah, once again, Mighty Moron is the butt of his own criticism and &#039;jokes&#039;, and is too stupid to know it!!

Oh, thanks for the laughs loser boy.</description>

		<description>And Mighty Moron,

For someone who pretends to have a litter (4 children?) a husband and a full time job, you sure have a lot of energy, and time to waste on &#039;liberals&#039; who you say are just &#039;the devil&#039;.

Wow, you&#039;d think you&#039;d have more important priorities in your life, but I&#039;m guessing if your children are anything like you (assuming you even have any) - you&#039;d really want to escape your responsibilities and talk to intelligent people.</description>

Oh, so despite growing up Republican, you needed the love of a Republican man to fulfill yourself enough to understand republican values?

That&#039;s the most retarded and nonsensical thing you&#039;ve ever said!  No wonder you joined the &#039;freedom party&#039;, you&#039;re an IDIOT!!!!

As for the &#039;religious&#039; thing, the percentage of Democrats and Republicans who self identify as religious is almost the same.  So once again you&#039;re preconceptions are as retarded as everything you say.

As for the &#039;contribute to charity&#039;, could that be why the red states are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to charity contributions, whereas the blue states dominate the top?

Once again, black is white, and Mighty Moron is the most retarded idiot in trolldom!

Bahaha, you&#039;re so funny, but not when you try to be!

&quot;My intention is not to bore you - rather there is one out there who, like â€œthe devil himselfâ€, mixes truth, half-truth and outright lies. Believe what you want. Comment by mighty aphrodite &quot;

Then that makes you the devil, because that&#039;s what you do daily!  Heck this post alone just proves it!

You&#039;re a hateful ahole, and you rationalize your hate through stupid preconceptions that never pan out.  You are the most inaccurate, idiotic fool who thinks they&#039;re smart that I&#039;ve ever read - perhaps outside of MizzWrong (your alter ego?) and Ruppert/NED/WWallace who&#039;s just incoherent.</description>

<p>As for the &#8216;contribute to charity&#8217;, could that be why the red states are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to charity contributions, whereas the blue states dominate the top?</p>
<p>Once again, black is white, and Mighty Moron is the most retarded idiot in trolldom!</p>
<p>Bahaha, you&#8217;re so funny, but not when you try to be!</p>
<p>&#8220;My intention is not to bore you &#8211; rather there is one out there who, like â€œthe devil himselfâ€, mixes truth, half-truth and outright lies. Believe what you want. Comment by mighty aphrodite &#8221;</p>
<p>Then that makes you the devil, because that&#8217;s what you do daily!  Heck this post alone just proves it!</p>
<p>You&#8217;re a hateful ahole, and you rationalize your hate through stupid preconceptions that never pan out.  You are the most inaccurate, idiotic fool who thinks they&#8217;re smart that I&#8217;ve ever read &#8211; perhaps outside of MizzWrong (your alter ego?) and Ruppert/NED/WWallace who&#8217;s just incoherent.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=479018', 400, 400)"></a></p>

Comment by mighty aphrodite &quot;

So to the mind of a Moron, pointing out that someone clearly suffers from &#039;gender confusion&#039; is talking about &#039;sex&#039;?

Wow, are you sure it isn&#039;t YOU who&#039;s 10-12?

What an idiot - and I didn&#039;t think you could possibly sound ANY MORE STUPID - and here you outdid yourself!!!</description>

		<description>Unbeliever - My first party affiliation was the Peace and Freedom Party.  That only lasted two years.  I then joined another obscure and irrelevant left wing third party for a couple of more years.  (Those were the ignorant and immature, &quot;I&#039;m more right  and sincere than you&quot; years.) Finally, I became a card carrying Democrat - Which I thought was almost as big of a sell out as being a member of the &quot;evil&quot; &quot;country club&quot; party.  After marrying Mr. Aphrodite - my &quot;shining armour&quot; Republican - I started to understand the stance better.  Most Repubs are good people who love God, their families, their country, and their neighbors.  They aren&#039;t perfect and know it.  They contribute to charity and pitch in.

		<description>unbeliever -  (such an apt name!!!) While you and your friend are busy discussing penis envy, let me clarify AGAIN:
My mom was a Jewess, my dad was Irish Caholic.  I went to Catholic schools but my siblings and I were released from religion class (a long with a few other kids) to do homework or go the library. We were taught to be respectful of everyone&#039;s religion - and to pity those who had none.

Just a tidbit of recent RyANNisms:

 &quot;ironic coming from someone â€˜pretendingâ€™ to be a woman. Youâ€™ve once again proven that youâ€™re gender confused - poor sick little moron.&quot; 
&quot;Mighty Moron isnâ€™t â€˜getting anyâ€™, ...Poor little sexually ambiguous thing must be as lonely as heck surrounded by fellow whackos heâ€™s afraid to come out of the closet to. &quot;
&quot;...but a dirty old man like Mighty Moron or Mizz Wrong are obvious pedophile lurking perverts.&quot;
Get some help you sicko pervert! And take Mighty Moron and her sexual confusion &quot;and gender identity issues to &quot;

		<description>&quot;Explains why we laugh at her rather than with herâ€¦ Comment by unbelievable&quot;

Right on sister.  I imagine it must be like high school for him all over again - where I bet he pretended he wasn&#039;t the lost, unhappy and unsociable outsider there as well.  Poor little whacko, to grow up and reproduce his high school experience and not even realize he&#039;s the same social outcast and the same idiot and moron.

I always felt sorry for the social outcasts - because it was obvious they had &#039;home problems&#039; and poor parenting.  The one thing I hope is a lie is the &#039;4 children&#039; of mighty moron.  If he has kids, that would be a tragedy.  More little unsocialized reichwing morons is not what the world needs.  Can&#039;t you see it now, 4 little &#039;Gaede&#039; kids singing the praises of white nazi power.</description>

		<description>&quot;Well, she claims to have also been a liberal and thereâ€™s no way Iâ€™m buying that. unbelievable&quot;

All part of the scam.  The latest version of his &#039;bio&#039; says he was raised conservative, and flirted with liberalism in college, until he met his conservative husband and converted whole heartedly to conservatism and christianity.  This is typical of the mythology of the reichwing on the power of marriage, the role of the husband, and submissiveness and reactionary responses of the devoted wife.

It&#039;s like a profile of propaganda wrapped up in an ugly, stupid and juvenile package.  And what&#039;s really pathetic is this moron thinks he&#039;s funny and smart - and NOTHING could be further from the truth - except maybe the WMD claims :)</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;No, heâ€™s another Reichwing Christian, just like MizzWrong and most of the rest of the Cabal of the moronic american fascist party.

Pretty sad huh? 

Comment by Ryan Neat â€” March 18, 2006 @ 5:10 pm &lt;/em&gt;

Oh, I see...  

Well, she claims to have also been a liberal and there&#039;s no way I&#039;m buying that.  I went over to a secular forum to find out if anyone there had any statistics on people who &#039;convert&#039; from religions or political affliations, but was told by several that no one with corporate money wants to have statistics on either, so there weren&#039;t any available.  Guess it&#039;s like the lack of statistics on ex-pats...  the government doesn&#039;t want anyone to know about that large shift either.


Yes, definitely sad.  And she doesn&#039;t even know how much.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;humor: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;that quality which appeals to a sense of the ludicrous or absurdly incongruous &lt;/em&gt;

For instance, it&#039;s humorous to have a &#039;woman&#039; who thinks its an insult to claim that a man is a woman.  Hence while Mighty Moron&#039;s attacks aren&#039;t humorous, the &#039;incongruous and ludicrous&#039; basis of those attacks are funny.  Or when the troll defends bush cronyism and no-bid contracts while pretending to be pro-capitalist.  Or when the troll defends an AlQueda tied company controlling port commerce, and the refusal of Bush to track down Bin Laden, while claiming to be pro-security.  Or when the troll claims to be opposed to techniques for taking &#039;other peoples&#039; money&#039; all the while touting flat tax (a form of taking their money) and out of control spending.

In otherwords Mighty Moron, you&#039;re the butt of your own jokes, but too stupid to know it.

Now THAT&#039;s humor :)</description>
