"I must confess of not knowing too much about this guy Russell Brand"
He's a left-wing, vaguely socialist/anarchist/communist comedian. He's been an activist for a long time, and became radicalized after seeing extreme poverty/slums in his tours of Africa. The guy in your quote, Albert Einstein, was also a reknowned commie.
As opposed to Patty, who strikes me as an uber free market obsessed, American libertarian.
Patty, do not quote Thomas Sowell. Sowell is a reknowned evil doer, CATO and HERITAGE puppet and is routinely rolled out by corporations, banks and the US government to rubber stamp every reactionary policy they hope to implement. It is his job to con people or miss the point. I've been reading him since the 70s, and he was doing this schtick then as well.
"but I noticed that George turned around and stated that people shouldn't govern themselves which is saying that they should be dependent on leadership."
Really? The same George who said, before his death, "The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. It simply does not give a fck about you!" and "ignorant citizens breed ignorant leaders!".
"Well he gave himself away in saying that because you can't have civil rights with no sense of independence, and apparently dependency is how he suddenly became popular."
You seem infatuated with "independence" and "people being dependent" on "government". Why? You should read some books on contemporary neuroscience (Thomas Metzinger, Daniel Dennet etc). Every scientist in the field has long overturned the notion of "independence", "selfhood" and even hard free will. Most of what "you" do "you" are conscious of only moments after the action. So you are not in control of, and have no conscious input into, many of the simplest things you do, think or feel, yet here you are demanding that "others" not be "dependent" on outside forces. Why do you really think that is?

TRINIDADY I an surprised that you view Pattycake as libertarian and a right wing Ideologue . She struck me as being fool and an idiot

Libertarians typically quote Sowell. In the 80s, before the modern libertarian movement, Sowell was big with Reagannites. And today, in the internet era, nobody stumbles across Sowell unless they have a pretty distinct set of beliefs.

Sowell is a typical house negro ... ashamed of his black skin

I know a great deal about this guy, as I'm British, I could write his whole resume, but I'll just bullet point it for you.
Former heroin addict.
Dressed up as Osama Bin Laden on 911.
Poonanny addict.
Raconteur.
Working class/single Mother etc.
Fiendishly intelligent.
He fancies Wendy Williams and will be on her show in few weeks(watch out for that)
What I think about him, is that he is stepping into his power, if you will. He is at least saying things which people need to hear, or at the very least force them to think, because very few people in this country have the ability to think anymore(I speak of the U.S), they've all been anesthetized by television and Big Pharma.
There's a movie called Idiocracy...supposed to take place in the future...sadly we are already here. :'(
I would recommend y'all checking it out.
