I find it interesting that they think facebook is a strange place but they're avid twitter users.
Stand up in groups. Groups are strong. The lone individual can be made to look like an accident.
For someone who is keen on definitions (and I totally agree), Mr. Lindsay shows a lack of understanding about the word "fascism." Right after seeing he believes in everyone having "a lot of freedom," he says that fascism means "actually a functioning society." However, the fasces (which were bundles of axes and rods) were wielded by magistrates in Ancient Rome to demonstrate (and probably enforce) their power of life and death. Doesn't sound like freedom to me!

I really hope Joe stopped the interview so James could pee. That quick "I have to pee" between statements is giving me sympathetic anxiety.
