7. Thanks , I saw it on the computer however my unit is slow

So I watched it on VH1 .

I was there through those times , Lennon was the reason I took up the guitar in 64 . I heard about his death on the radio early in the morning of the 9th when I was 30 , I went to a park in Florida where I was living at the time with the candle .

That time period was and is very similar to now with the exceptions of we had a media and we have strong leaders as Lennon and the youth were very involved in ending the war .

Sad and as horrid as it is we are right back there all over again only in a deeper state of horror with more people commiting crimes within all fractions of our government .

Sure we have computers but it's not quite the same thing , we need real involvement and this must involve the youth all across the land .

It's the same thing man , the same message .

10. As a child of the 80's I have to say that it is remarkable how the entire movement

was right

It is literally an internal battle about the truths and the ridiculous lies. I married a child of a union household and that in an of itself is a daily re-education process (the irony of her professional position is enormous).

I really think that two eneviatable events of the next ten years have a huge can of whoopass waiting for this country:

1. the lack of "I am off work" element

2. when the "illegals" are made legal they will form unions and the obvious matter of fact in terms of the economy that we have been "educated" against will come as a massive surprise.

11. Great documentary.

But also very chilling, listening to Liddy, Hoover, Nixon, et al. It's like listening to the Bushies, but in Pollyanna form, compared to now.

12. It is very similar to today .

And as you said only worse . Ay one point in the film someone said and I forget who said it , they mentioned that we are worried about being watched but it how deep it goes and what we don't know is what scares us most .

This is true today , we know part of what these criminals are capable of but how much more do we not know and what are they doing behind these government organizations . Some of the very same people back then are still working the system today .
