1. alright, alright already!

Very cool... thanks for the URL.

[Cha]

2. I just saw it! Damnit!

I like Hemp Clothing, too!

That was the Coolest Grapic Scene!

Laura Louie is Woodie's Wife! I love what they're doing!

Thanks matcom for insisting! :-)

[Maple]

3. I'm glad I missed it the first time

I wished I'd missed it the second time.

A return to the Stone Age is not a solution to anything.

[matcom]

4. "return to the stone age"??????

:wtf: are you talking about?

that isn't the point of this at all

HOW did you come to THAT conclusion? :shrug:

[Maple]

5. Ahh how wonderful life was

before the Industrial Revolution...tra la

[matcom]

6. in that 2 minutes you took THAT away from it?

you COMPLETELY miss the point :eyes:

ever hear of a 'metaphor'?

guess not :eyes:

[Maple]

7. LOL and was it

pro science and technology?

[matcom]

8. it was pro PEACE and HUMANITY

talked about 'BALANCE'

you FOR corporate take over of our planet are you?

it went MUCH deeper than the Industrial Revolution. that is a small cog in the Wheel from Woody

try 'who is the man behind this curtain' for starters

[Maple]

9. It was pro back to the hunter-gatherer stuff

Thank you, no.

Wrong direction.

The 'man behind the curtain' was big oil, as the next shot showed.

So use better technology... and horses and buggies ain't it.

[matcom]

11. so you don't mind that 'big oil' is the man behind the curtain?

i got another web site for ya :P

[Maple]

13. If you don't want big oil

behind the curtain....then do some R&D on fuel cells

But don't confuse that with some romanticized view of the past with buffalo roaming, and 'clean' streams and we'll all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

People died young then...after a short nasty life.

[matcom]

16. i have followed the R&D

and i happen to LIKE 'clean' streams

AND Kumbaya

[Maple]

17. Well the streams weren't clean then either

Buffalo poop does that.

And Kumbaya is better on CDs

Cuz pre Industrial revolution...and we're now out of that era too...people didn't live long enough to sing anything.

[matcom]

18. may be right

but did they SING?

the air is strangely silent these days

why don't you offer an alternative or at least a happy medium (which is where I am at anyhow)?

people have to realize that sometimes 'extremes' promote 'moderation'.

deal with it. there IS a voice.

[Maple]

19. Like I said

they didn't live long enough to sing anything.

And the air isn't remotely silent these days.

How about a balance?

You don't set rivers on fire, and fill the air with pollution....but we don't all go hunt mammoth for breakfast and live in caves either.

'Extremes' also get people ignored at the ballot box.

And on this kind of extremism, the left wing is as nutty as the right wing.

Deal with it? I'm not the one having a problem.

[Cha]

22. I'm all for Cleanin' up the Streams and for the Clean Streams they

haven't gotten to yet!

[Cha]

20. Sorry, IMO, you just don't get It!

That thing was Beautiful!

Thanks again, Woodie, and Matcom!

[trof]

12. I thought it was about yaks.

Wearing thongs.
Did I get the wrong video?
;-)

[Maple]

14. Gad! I'da preferred

the yaks!

Even WITH thongs. :D

[supernova]

10. Anti-corporatist

I think is what it mostly was, listing out Monsanto, and that big pic with all the oil company signs along the highway.

Did it tip over into the things were better without technology meme? Perhaps a little.

Did however like the phrasing and the presentation. Excellent language use.

[Maple]

15. Oh it was certainly well done

Very professional.

It was the message I disagreed with.

[Cha]

21. Your message was different than my Message!

[Maple]

24. Perhaps you saw

what you wanted to see.

[ornotna]

23. Thanks Matcom

That was very cool. :thumbsup:
