      I was sad this got so dark because when they showed just the first clip of the agriculture minister just saying that even though Depp was the sexiest man alive twice, the dogs should "bugger off back to the US" I thought that was hilarious. I didn't think he was being serious.
      By the way, they should have gotten Kiefer Sutherland to read the text for the response with the 24 style countdown clock. xD

    yeah - Tyson were lying and corrupt in the 90's too. their general counsel back then was sent to prison for his actions. I watched him tell an auditorium of college students that "Tyson doesn't raise chickens that pollute the environment." Well they don't raise chickens at alll, so that was true. I did call him out on that in front of the auditorium, was wonderful to be a 23 year-old student watching an esteemed professional stammer and stutter for a response.

      Most Parliaments/Congress' do voice votes by default. The Chair (in the case of the UK, the Speaker) will base the result of what he thinks the result is. If the result is disputed, the Speaker will call for a division.
      In the United States, it works a similar way, except that before the Speaker of the House of Representatives, will normally hear a privileged motion to call for the full recorded vote of the matter. Additionally, final passage of any bill (before the House and Senate) by virtue of the Constitution, MUST be a recorded Aye/Nay vote.

      Well, the relationship between poultry companies and chicken farmers hasn't changed much in regards to their pay, however in said meeting about the Agricultural Appropriations Bill, the rider that prevented the USDA from enforcing protective rules for Poultry Farmers was not added. This means that Last Week Tonight may have actually changed or at least influenced US policymaking for the better, a somwhat rare occurrence nowadays.

    If you have the inclination I encourage you to look into the rules in your area and get your own chickens. They are walking garbage disposals and the eggs you get are 1000 times better than any store bought egg. We got 4 last year we have less than half an acre and they have plenty of room. They are definitely worth having. I live inmichigan so even if you live where it gets cold lots of breeds do very well in cold weather. We don't even use supplemental heat in the winter. Just protect them from the wind and they stay warm. There was a study that said if like 1 in 3 people got there own chickens the egg industry would collapse.

    *Social Mathematics* “Running From the Devil”
    Firstly, there is not one kind of humanity any more than there is one kind of animal. For the sake of argument we shall break down humanity into four basic characteristics.
    There are four basic variables in the people of America (or in the world for that matter).
    1. There are action addicts.
    2. There are work-a-holics.
    3. There are those interested in their clarity, truth, and definitions.
    4. There are those who make it back home and become mental health patients. These in turn become again one of the three above.
    The reason for the layout in America is largely political. If everyone disconnected the media and lived at home there would be nothing but violence or war. This is the only real difference be civil nations and those in turmoil. There are streets, cars, architecture, and electronics, all with the intent of keeping you people busy and away from home and reality. Whether political leaders based civil planning and media based on a similar equation is unknown but certainly possible. In previous equations the work-a-holics would always fail because they had nowhere to go. You can change around the variables for any agenda you like. The political agenda should be general peace and prosperity, right? You can apply these four characteristics to learning and information, sure. You can’t just eliminate action addicts because prosperity would essentially fail. Finagling a political and informational key is not easy, but posting provides the possibility through pneumatic analysis. Juggling these variables gives a massive insight into today's political landscape that reveals its inherent flaws and could provide for a more rational political viewpoint in the future.
    Note* Essentially modern politics tried to eliminate the third variable entirely and have a slave camp run by psychopaths.
