Piers Morgan is a bizarre individual. He’s the polar opposite of Penn Jillette and I think Penn quite calmly scolded him like a school child when it came to religion as well as their views on the government.
I couldn’t help myself.
Piers Morgan you Piece of British Shit
- Piers Morgan: I saw this week-70% increase in the families living on [food] stamps in the last 5 months. Shocking statistics. They're the people I care about.
- Penn Jillette: Yes, and I assume you're helping them?
- Piers Morgan: Well, I'm talking about it.
- Penn Jillette: But you're also giving them money, I assume?
- Piers Morgan: Uhhh, I do give money, yeah. I'm not going to say I give money directly to these people, because I don't know who they are.
What a great quote from Penn Jillette. Government is force at its rawest. It effects the most amount of people at any given time. A rapist effects just one person at the time of the crime. The governments actions everyone in the nation.

I don’t believe the majority always knows what’s best for everyone. The fact that the majority thinks they have a way to get something good does not give them the right to use force on the minority that don’t want to pay for it….Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It’s just ganging up against the weird kid, and I’m always the weird kid.
