Well worth listening to and thinking about.

I came here expecting a link to this speech:

The fact that Chaplin made this (he wrote, directed and starred in it) when it was not popular to call out Hitler at the time (1940) in the states is what makes it so extraordinary to me.

Great speech. I've always liked this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLtj-U6havs

Man, Chaplin was way before his time..

It was quite popular to call Hitler out before World War II. Those who didn't agree with him (of which there were many, including some in the House of Windsor and at least one US Senator by the name of Fish) derided him much like modern dictators are derided, but the issue is that many of the comics who mocked him before the War (like Chaplin and also the Three Stooges) would not have done so had they known what he was really after, what he was capable of. Chaplin said that he would not have made the Great Dictator at all had he known.

I knew you meant this.Actually I thought about this 4 minutes ago.Weird.
Yea.I found this few months ago and have been trying to tell all my friends about this.
What has changed...(Snake: War...has changed..)

Not a speech but the last part of a poem

"Man is so infinitely small

 In all these stars, determinate.

Maker and moulder of them all

 Man is so infinitely great! " 

- Alestier Crowley, At Sea 

Think of it, we're all great.... we can be great, even when we're so small in the universe but at the same time we can conquer it, and defeat death and defeat our weaknesses and live as gods, We can do, create and mould anything if we ever so want to, or we can destroy it.

so why do we fight for things that sre meaningless to us humans? why do we fight in the name of gods/myths/heavens , why would we be rather be slaves to fate rather than it's master?
