The Scurvy Forward:
The ability to have one’s voice heard is what makes them a person in the eyes of the public.
Time and again in history, whenever a people has lost the ability to have their voice heard in a medium that can project empathy and passion to the people at large, they have lost the right to be considered a person by the lawmakers. Though we may cast many an ill glance at the film industry in the past decade, it has provided that valuable service.

11:27
When talking about slavery, you have to include the idea of greed
11:52
The power that a company has over you as an individual is horrifying
12:07
If we get shit from this episode, I’m sure we can call up Circle Sanctuary
12:25
People tends to go off the deep end with little things rather than focus on the big things
12:38
Dealing with the goverment can be too intimidating to deal with because it’s seen as a whole entity

16:04
The British system may still be the worst system, and it still works!
16:10
We talk about how you’ll wait for surgery in either place. However, over here…you may still wait AND let’s hope you can pay for it
16:32
Do we want the goverment to take over healthcare? Maybe just not with how it is now
16:54
People are just letting things happen
17:01
There’s too much in the news to take in and analyze
17:11
Dave uses the Casey Anthony trial going on and the coverage instead of covering the wars that we’re in
17:23
They’re trying to make the Casey Law that it’ll be a federal offense not to report them missing and something about double jeopardy
17:36

19:50
Shouldn’t we have leaders that we actually WANT to follow?
20:02
Once you have over 30 million people…it just can’t function as a democracy or a republic. It’s just too big.

22:28
You obviously can’t take care of things enough, so we’ll just give you enough regulations so where you’re forced to

25:22
Scruv thinks we need a new method of communication to get people to speak…Dave shoots it full of holes
25:45
People don’t mail shit anymore. So when they get a piece of mail, so they pay more attention to it
26:05
Mass e-mails are annoying
26:08
Let’s use facebook as an example of annoying mass messages
26:28
Scurv wants people to march and send letters, but his reasoning is it doesn’t work because they can’t afford to do it. Dave says nope, laziness is the culperate
26:52
There is a mix of fear in there…what if I’m the only one. We need the mob mentality for the idea of comfort while fighting for their ideals.

30:27
There’s better things to worry about rather than what religion they are

Religion shouldn’t play anything when it comes to the job
30:59
The only job it should matter is when its in a church.
31:07
Amber talks about the parameters of the McCullum court case and her perspectives on it.
31:43
Scurv is wondering why religious people are getting paid
32:18
How ARE religious people going to survive if they’re not paid for their job? Because it’s not all donation of time. The congregation pays them. Pagans just don’t have the structure to do this right now
32:57
Peter Dybing gets everyone together, or we sell glitter graphics to pay our clergy…
33:26

Mexico’s lucky it doesn’t have oil that Americans want…wait…backtrack…been there done that.
40:27
Just how many places are we blowing up now? Let’s list them!
40:47
There’s a panic starting that the goverment will stop funding emergency services
41:05

41:19
We suck at this politics things…where’s Cara when you need her?
41:47
