4. I thought so too. I've gotten good responses from friends who
ordinarily are not interested in political stuff.

Annie Leonard does a great job in narrating too in a way that is easy to understand and digest.

9. I'd like to show this to my nieces.
Really well done. Pretty much the reason I've opted out of Christmas shopping this year, and many years to come. The whole consumerism thing is making me sick.

11. It's great! It's wonderful! It's informative!
...but what is it? :)

Can we get a one-paragraph summary of what this is? Some kind of commentary against consumerism, I'm gathering from comments?

19. Makes ya feel guilty and hypocritical for watching it on a 'puter, doesn't it?
It'd be nice if there was some other way, but there isn't. It seems like we're doomed (programmed?) to making ourselves extinct.

20. Good point Random. The first thing we have to do is awaken people to the facts.
We have to start from the ground up.

We definitely need to be communicating less on the computer (what 'they' want us to do) and more face to face.

That is where our power is.

Of course, they know that.

We have to strike the root.

The branches won't work any more.....it never did, but it bought time.

Now there's no time to buy really.

We also have to keep uncovering the truth.

We are learning, albeit it a bit too slowly that all the media is owned by essentially what are the ruling families (i just learned that Reuters was purchased by the Rothschild family/group in the 1800's- who knew?),

and our media is nothing more than a two four hour propaganda/dunbing down/dog and pony machination perpetuated by those who continue to profit off of our labor, illness, deaths (war etc) and perhaps most importantly, our remaining ignorant and in denial.
