Shaykh Muhammad al-Shareef’s Dream

Schools Kill Creativity
This dude agrees with me so much that it really hurts. Pay especial attention to what he says about children being born creative but are educated out of their creativity.

Scientology Immune to Criticism but Free-For-All on Islam

Did journalists help get public opinion behind the Iraq war despite the lack of any evidence of WMDs because they are were deviously conspiring with neo-cons, or because they are exquisitely stupid? I think that this video provides an answer.
