I use that 3 minutes as a preamble to the later Noam Chomsky vid I also include:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJUA4cm0RckWhich is 22 minutes and Noam's comments on "current events" are very valuable about how much we are getting hosed by the wholesale corruption of all our institutions....simultaneously! I'm a grass roots kinda guy, so I email vids and articles now and then to build a groundswell of outrage over the Mafiazation of our Government. These go out to all in my orbit who have emails and I think can handle it.
I hope the academy award winning doc nudges America over the tipping point from complacent to activist. We as a people have to connect and overcome this tyranny by our own government. C'mon, there's 98% of us and 2% of them!
Or how about this; I'm a baby boomer, married with no kids. I was born in 1954 so I grew up taking American Middle Class prosperity for granted. Rather than have people of my generation sending off young kids with their whole lives ahead of them, why don't those of us over, say 55, organize and take up arms and have the old people dying to save the young people for a change? We could turn this tyranny around and allow these kids to get going and fix up the world so that it's fair and they are given all the public resources necessary to avert the global disasters brought upon by climate change, which is propagated upon us by the rich and powerful so they can maximize their personal wealth!
Going out with a bang will make a much better tombstone than withering away as I loose my grip on life and everything I have worked for during it.

plus, it would be nice if us boomers got labeled the "Greater than Greatest Generation". That would go a long way to help me deal with dad issues!
