We’re making this film because we’re amazed by how many people who love guns also support the War on Drugs, and how many people who love drugs support the War on Guns. They need to know the two wars fuel each other. And most pro-pot people are also into progressive socialism. It doesn’t make sense. If you’re into one freedom, you really should be into ALL freedoms.
For instance, Woody Harrelson is a well-known pot advocate. I agree with Harrelson on the pot issue. But he’s an inveterate Obama licking socialist progressive.
Salon.com: At least at this point, it appears that Obama is pushing onward with the war in Afghanistan. Is he just constrained by geopolitics? Is he simply not free to say, “Look, we’re not going to do this anymore”?
Harrelson: I think there’s a lot of persuasive and powerful people around Obama. For a president to make his own decisions, I think that’s a rarity. Even someone who we think of as our guy — this is a guy with integrity, a guy who cares, for the first time in a long time — in the Oval Office, even with him we don’t really know who’s pulling the strings. I think of every president as being a marionette. Whether he’s any different, I don’t know. Certainly his military advisers all want him to prosecute this war to the end, just as they did in Vietnam with LBJ.
It’s just too depressing, I think we’re going to have to hit the streets. Obama has the chance of becoming JFK or LBJ. I think JFK was one of our last great presidents, although I thought Carter was pretty great too…..
Which just goes to prove my thesis….the Republicans better quit trying to legislate against what people smoke and who they bed, or we’re going to have a permanent majority of people who want to rob from the disarmed producers to support the insolent and indolent parasites.
Not that repubs don’t do that, but lately the dems have been taking it to vast new levels. And while dems don’t care what kind of freaky mammal sex you have, they certainly want to control or eliminate every tiny little other nuance in the world. Coal, oil, commerce, guns, hunting, water, health care, salt, or body fat index and ironically, weed.
Why should the government protect us from ourselves?
If you think they should, then no one should have guns, right? (Except of course, the government, because the government is an all-knowing and perfect loving-yet-stern parent to guide us in our every decision!)
Another issue: PROHIBITION DOES NOT WORK. The War on Drugs has been unwinnable since the 1930s. It only fuels government waste, bolsters government intrusion, and puts good people in prison. It also fuels the War on Guns. Look how Holder tried to reinstate the Assault Weapon Ban to help the War on Drugs.
Prohibition doesn’t make people quit smoking pot anymore than a total gun ban would make a patriot hang his head in shame and voluntarily hand in all his hardware to the federal smelter.

I hate liberals so damn much!
But not for their freaky mammal sex
I don’t care what you wed or do or screw
and I don’t care if you shoot crack!
I hate liberals because they steal
My money and my rights
They mug me and they mug you
and think they’re doing right…..
I HATE LIBERALS SO DAMN MUCH (AND I HATE STATISTS TOO)…but I love cats!

Dean and Debra Jean Dean have rainy day fun talking about the baffling case of South Carolina candidate Alvin Green, chili cookin’ on a rainy day with your baby, the concept and the book Future Shock, the growing divide between far left and far right, the concept and the book The Road to Serfdom, THE PUSSIFICATION OF THE WESTERN MALE, the cool site and book The Art of Manliness, why people who hate guns are really dangerous (and pussies), how all laws and taxes are enforced at the barrel of a gun, and more nifty stuff.
Here are many many many photos of our quickie two-day vacation to Yellowstone and Cody this week. ….in our state, four hours away. Bison, mountain goats, Old Faithful and more!
How cool is it to be able to drive a few hours and take a vacation that other people fly around the world to take?

Libertarian rapper and TV personality Neema Vedadi visits Michael W. Dean and Debra Jean Dean in Nestlandia, in Wyoming, and drops mad science. They talk about consent of the governed, the coming collapse, impending doom, liberal idiots, and how to transcend all of the above through education, edu-tainment, and guns. Neema explains how America is headed toward a Weimar Republic where a loaf of bread costs a million dollars. He and the Deans talk about what to do about it, how to save yourself and your family, and chat about liberty, child rearing, taxation as theft, where America went wrong, why there should be no public property, and what’s cool about guns and weed.
They talk about a lot of other fun stuff, for a long long time (an hour and 40 minutes). Yay!
THE OLDER I GET AND THE MORE I KNOW, THE LESS I NEED TO SAY WHAT I KNOW.
Michael W. Dean sits in the backyard as the sun comes up & the birdies chirp and the cats purr. He ponders growing old gracefully, talks about guns, cats, love, liberty, the secrets to a happy marriage, politics, Wyoming, God, more guns and life. Then we hear the Right Arm of Wyoming bonus song (that isn’t on the CD) called “Tar and Feather a Tax Collector.” (lyrics are here if’n ya want to read ‘em.)
Michael’s wife Debra wakes up and says hi before running off to work.
Michael W. Dean talks about filmmaking, art, life and politics
podcast episode 38
Michael W. Dean sits in his back yard on a glorious spring day, pets his cats and talks about digital filmmaking, art, life and politics…while answering interview questions from a college student in India. His name is Anamitra Roy and he’s no-budget filmmaker from Kolkata, Westbengal, India and a student of film studies at the Jadavpur University. He has sent me these questions while preparing his dissertation paper on no-budget film making worldwide.
Questions I was asked, then talked for 40 minutes:
1) What does it mean by ‘no-budget film’ ? ( Definition or the concept)
2) What is the philosophical aspect of these non/anti-industrial films? (Marxism, people’s art or Post-modern individual effort / potential role in a democratic state)
3) What Cameras and Edit suits have you used for your films? Why? (availability of digital technology in today’s world)
4) Unless there have been a DV revolution, do you think that the concept of no-budget had flourished to this extent? (The festivals organized all over the world, people making films on their own — could this be real in the era of celluloid too. Please elaborate.)
5) Will you go to Hollywood if they call you? Why? (center - periphery relationship / cultural hegemony)
(I forgot to answer this one, but the answer is “No.” I plan to never ever set foot in the state of California again, mainly because it’s a dangerous place and I can’t legally bring my guns. The California chapter in my life is over. I lived there from 1986 to 2009. That’s well long enough.)
6) How does Digital technology help in organizing screenings? (budget)
