So Glenn Beck on Fox News recently (September 29, 2009) showed a graphic murder. This is the sort of thing that would get a video pulled from youtube almost immediately, but for some reason Fox deemed it important enough to put on the Glenn Beck show.
Now I've seen the ugly side of mankind. But to be honest this is something that one has to mentally prepare for. It should not be the sort of thing that should get pushed in your face. I mean the only warning Beck gives is to tell 'children to leave the room' before showing the young teen getting beaten to death. This is I am pretty sure just for the shock value to make the audience more receptive to Beck telling them that its all because we have taken in god we trust off some of our currency.
Beck goes on to blame this on the 'loss of god' in America.
Beck gives several monologues as tirades where he basically dictates to the audience what they should think, and in this sense is not unlike howtheworldworks. Watching Glenn in action is like watching the art of manipulation in motions. He targets his appeals to every mechanism of suggestions, bar reason, logic and facts.
If I sound a little off or if the language is a little off. Bear with me on this one Im currently laid up with the swine flu.

pogobat aka 'Dan Brown' is one of those yammer at the camera type guys... very entertaining I'm sure, but when he blows smoke trying to justify why him dropping out of school was 'a good thing as it was interfering with his education', and that really it wasn't his fault, it was that the university lecturers didn't know his name (lmao), and didn't organize his social calendar for him, and they expected him to learn stuff EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNETS EXISTS.... its time to call bullshit on the bullshit artist. Especially seeing as his 'dropping out is good AND NOT MY FAULT' message seems to have resonated with his seemingly young and impressionable audience. -This video was put together in haste as a form of reducing the damage caused by pogobat.
Yeah I know the guy is vain (the guy really included the key word 'handsome' in his description of his video about education!), egotistical, subscriber whore/BS artist, and I have little doubt that part of what was going through his mind while doing this was to create some drama by bad mouthing education and showing what a rebel he is by proudly dropping out.
Great for him I'm sure.... but shite for society... and the future of society.
I only addressed the core of his arguments here (mostly the strawman about university education ONLY being about learning facts), a lot of the rest of what he says is bs too (google being a wonderful company...lol tell china that!), and how the value of information is going down. Education is more important now than ever, and to operate in a technologically advanced civilization you need to know somewhat of how it functions. The guy with the 'right information' and right ability to implement that information is more valuable than ever.
