The equation of the government with the mafia is an apt and efficient mechanism for getting people to see the MORAL implications of the concept of the state. I've had some success with it, with my coworkers. Well, at least they don't try to affect the pretense of moral courage around me anymore....
the speech made me physically ill.i didn't care for the way that he referred to atheists as "non-believers," either. i thought that was pretty insulting. he hit mccain pretty hard as well by saying that americans chose hope over fear. i think they just foolishly chose 0bama because they are unable (or unwilling) to see past the false left-right paradigm and were happy not to elect another neo-con.
