This really needs to be watched in HQ on full screen mode. It also sounds really cool with headphones on.

To coincide with the events around the International Day For The Eradication Of Poverty on 17th October 2009 the audiovisual team at the International Secretariat has produced the animation, Together We Can Beat Poverty.

It shows the link between human rights violations and poverty. At the end people come together and through their collective voices bring an end to the violations that keep people poor.

3. I found this at the same time I'm listening to the products the

financial instutions used-derivatives, and swaping them and exceptions and pattern of risk.... via Barney Frank on C-Span.

Disclosure of prices. Transparency seems to be an important function for any organization that consumers use. I will watch later, but will kick and recommed because to end poverty will lead to peace.

4. Poverty and powerlessness are nearly synonyms

5. I really like that grinding action.... that's what it feels like.. being ground down.

However, there is no monster. If there was, it would be easier to fight.

There is just greed, and it usually looks tame.

6. I thought the monster doing the grinding was depicting the greed that powers the ruthless machine

I agree with what you're saying about it having a well constructed "tame" curtain to hide behind, though.
