I think what is happening to my country has to happen for it to improve. The more people become outraged, the sooner there will be some serious change. People need to be knocked out of their comfort and apathy and realize that something needs to be done. Corruption is rampant on both sides of the aisle and it has come to the point where there is no serious difference between the two parties. In one of these next couple presidential elections, I hope that the American people will realize that third parties are there for a reason.

i hope with the advent of google video many sleeping people will stumble across the kinds of films they need to see to open their eyes.
look at google video's top100 videos, most are bullshit TV like distractions, but number FIVE is loose change, a video exposing the 9/11 conspiracy!
i can't stress enough that tv needs to be done away with, it creates amnesia about the most important issues while constantly reminding us that everything is okay and normal.
someone should play one of these types of videos on a major television network, or hack a television network and stream it but that's probably very hard.

I also find it very important that people with very different views about politics (you and I, for example) can come together and agree that something needs to be changed.
I don't buy into the 9/11 conspiracy, but that doesn't matter. There are problems that had to do with 9/11 that didn't have to do with the conspiracy. It should have been stopped, but it wasn't. There were warning signs which were ignored. Our government is one who can no longer protect us, yet is taking away out rights as if it can.
I think it is very important for unsatisfied people from all political camps to be able to come together and demand some change before things go too far.

that's very true.
they could not even handle hurricane katrina, why should we trust them with out safety and think that removing freedoms will keep us safer?
what would be ideal is if people from broad politicial diversities could discuss these things in public with the common masses. i am not sure how much "they" know... the general public that doesn't follow the internet.
i would be a bit afraid to speak such things where i live. it would be a great idea to hold a screening of loose change or something of the sorts, any sort of eye opening video on how we are using our failures to pave a police state.

Quote:
Icelander said: By the way, what are you wearing under that kilt?
Totally off topic but...
I heard Mel Gibson tell a story once, about the time he spent in Scottland filming Braveheart.
He was in a bar one evening, having a few beers. He noticed some real Scottsmen sitting around a table, all wearing kilts, so he decided to put his mind to rest once and for all and ask them what they wore under their kilts (in the name of "character research", he said).
So he goes up to the table and asks the guys "hey, what do you wear under your kilt?"
One guy turns around, looks him up and down, then says "Your wife's lipstick!"
--------------------
Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

I suggest, if you want to really help, is to goto other places to communicate this, be it forums or something else, and do what I did
Dont force your specific views on the events, just force the facts, they knew 9-11 was going to happen, and they did nothing to stop it (even though it seems obvious they took efforts to ensure it if nothing else), point out the collapse of WTC building 7 (which the owner admitted was a controlled demolishion!) which housed many financial records... Ohh by the way america, rumsfeld announced on September 10th, 2001, that the Pentagon lost 2.3 TRILLION dollars, and the paper work of it was destroyed in WTC 7. Ack I good go on about the details but now Im guilty of pushing my views :P ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO RESEARCH!!! www.911truth.org and such!
