AND your point is....??

Heres a link for job-seekers( just kidding) http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/browse-career-and-job-categories/legal-and-law-enforcement/internment-resettlement-specialist.html Job Overview states ‘”Internment/resettlement specialists are primarily responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility.“Job Duties Include :”Supervision of confinement and detention operationsExternal security to facilitiesCounseling/guidance to individual prisoners within a rehabilitative programRecords of prisoners/internees and their programs” that looks to me like they're taking applications for concentration camp attendants!

The movie Slacker directed by Richard Linklater is on Netflix and YouTube. I'm confident that it would resonate with the community here, and Waking Life(by the same director) can be watched on Topdocumentaryfilms.com and its philosophy oriented, it's well directed.[/font] the movie Network 1976 is another good one, anybody who doesn't watch television will identify with the main character in this movie, a prominent newscaster loses his cool on live television and rants to a national audience about how dehumanizing TV can be.[/font]

I would recommend Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm. Fromm takes a psychoanalyst's perspective to the question of why freedom can be frightening for some people and authoritarianism can make people secure. His thesis is that the industrial revolution liberated man in some ways economically and socially but certain masochistic tendencies left a vacancy that attracted the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. A section of the book questions the Nazi mentality specifically. I think his overall analysis resonates with the psyche of people today and I thought the subject was personally easy to relate to and held some insight into my own tendencies towards authority. I also suggest Liberty Defined by Ron Paul, in it he tackles the problem of how a lack of liberty in areas of the American situation has caused more harm than good. The Law by Frederic Bastiat is a great book to read too. It's concise and I've though that it seemed like the fountainhead for a majority of literature on liberty. Bastiat's Economic Harmonies and his other book Economic Sophisms are good expositions on how freedom in the economic sphere is beneficial to all classes.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJXspT2VtOE- search YouTube for Alex jones waking life. theres this video of a scene from the movie waking life, the only scene with Alex jones in it and he rants and raves and says " I want FREEDOM and that's what YOU should want! " and I had to laugh when I heard that because I know I'd come off that way but less extreme when trying to convince my old roommate of the value of liberty.

My experience in College was that of being pressured to vote regardless of who you vote for, ( " it's your duty" "make a change" " be a good citizen" and other bromides were abundant last year when I was in a course legislative processes.) I can't remember who pointed out that, no matter who you vote for , the government wins. I found the teachers actionsvery amusing.

I think this is so useful, I don't have any kids but I've used it for my own education.

Escape from Freedom , also titled Fear of freedom

And I've read Bastiat pretty extensively. Reading is my favorite thing to do so I'm open to book suggestions.

I signed up a week ago although I started watching Mr. Molyneux's videos on YouTube for almost a year. The first time I saw " the truth about voting" I was on a Canadian video hosting site called tagtele.com/redpill which has some interesting documentaries on it. I am twenty one years old, I left college last December, is withdrew because I decided that after 3 years of trying to get through at the bare minimum I was going to just quit. My final year of schooling i was enrolled in classes like " the american presidency" anf legislative processes and a class called judicial process, amd they Were so shallow and out of touch with Reality i took it personally and felt like i was being Taught Falsehoods and misrepresented history and things counter to my ideals. i took to studying history On lewrockwell.com and mises. org and reading books by Mises And i did that all at cost of doing my schooleork instead.The diploma had little to no value to me and I was doing political science major. It just didn't seem worthy of my time or energy or money and now I'm voluntarily unemployed and out of school. I spend the majority of my time assisting my dad manage properties in DC, otherwise I'm reading on philosophy economics and history or im keeping a journal and trying to figure out how to live in accord with my values. I only became interested in politics last year because I was old enough to vote in a presidential elections. The republican debates and subsequent nominations showcased what a farce politics is. I credit Ron Paul, who I admired for taking a principled stand as a politician , with inspiring me to study economics. The final question In one debate was " what what would you be doing if you weren't here this evening,?" Romney and Gingrich said they'd be watching the game on TV that night and Ron Paul said that he would be reading an economics textbook. I read his books, liberty defined, a foreign policy of freedom, and revolution: the manifesto and I became more interested in the principles that society could be based on and more disillusioned with the rhetoric that politicians and the news media prattle on about. 2012 for me was a whole year of reading and re reading articles from Mises.org and lewrockwell.com and watching videos and podcasts from those sources and Mr molyneux. Some of my other intellectual influences are Lysander Spooner and Butler Shaffer.

The movie Slacker directed by Richard Linklater is on Netflix and YouTube. I'm confident that it would resonate with the community here, and Waking Life(by the same director) can be watched on Topdocumentaryfilms.com and its philosophy oriented, it's well directed. the movie Network 1976 is another good one, anybody who doesn't watch television will identify with the main character in this movie, a prominent newscaster loses his cool on live television and rants to a national audience about how dehumanizing TV can be. I don't watch television and rarely watch movies, I'd rather read a book, but these are three of my favorite movies, let me know if you watched them
