Movie that moved you to change or to action, and how.

For me it would have to be "About Schmidt". I now sponsor a girl from China through Childreach. I couldn't help it.

4. I have very mixed feelings on the death penalty
I used to be for it, but now I don't see what it solves. I imagine, though, being human, if somebody killed somebody I loved, I might want them dead.

7. Sometimes I have those same thoughts
What if it happened to someone I love? Then Maybe I would be for it. I guess our thinking is kind of on the same line.

10. Yes.
I suppose what would hurt the most if you had a relative murdered would be that no matter what happens, it won't bring the loved one back. I don't know if justice is ever truly served.

I am thinking of that poor girl that just got killed near Tampa by the sex offender, and what her family would be thinking.

There is no easy answer to that question.

:(

3. Gandhi, Koyaanisqatsi
Edited on Sat Mar-19-05 10:25 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Gandhi for standing up for what is right and having courage in the face of despair. Koyaanisqatsi for offering the picture of the bankruptcy of our "civilization".

9. I loved Koyaanisqatsi
Edited on Sat Mar-19-05 10:34 PM by Radical Activist
It certainly gave me a new perspective on the daily grind and how I wanted my life to be different.
