There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

The kicker is the whole film was edited to completion, then portions were sent to various artists who colored them frame by frame to create a great visual experience. Someone will speak of something and the surroundings will change to highlight the message.

I really enjoyed it.

My friends keep telling me about this movie. I think I am going to be a Philosophy major to and haven't seen it yet. I did see "What The Bl33p!" and I wasn't that impressed, with the approach taken.
\"The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first, our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others. \" -John Locke

War is not fought over Religion. Religion taken out of context is used as an ideological scapegoat to ensure one's own socio-economic conditions are met.
