Not until everyone in the world stops treating life like a dick waving competition. In such a society i wouldn't be one of those in power as I'm just an ignorant peon, but even so, even this peon realizes that utopias mean less or no war, which means my gargantuan ignorant ass isn't getting sent into other countries to get blown up.

Exactly. Anyone can take any quote they want and mash it up, or take it out of context however they want. How do you think crap like Disaster Movie managed to put "Reviewer X says it's "Hilarious"" in their commercials when Reviewer X probably said "If you consider this 'hilarious', you're retarded."

Plain bullshit... I think not.
A bit extreme, for sure. I've seen the first one a few years ago, but haven't seen the Addendum.
