Do yourself a favor. Watch the whole thing. Believe it, don't believe it, question everything, be critical - but most importantly - THINK

This is a good idea. While I doubt the theme is going to change, I really like the word Zeitgeist.
During the burn night this year, while people were gathering around the man in preparation for the festivities, a "doomsayer" was walking about with a megaphone and "End of the World" display on his chest. He was shouting on his megaphone, waving a disc in his hands, in effort to get attention and hand out his message.
Being a big fan of this type of behavior, I ran over and snatched a disc out of his hand as quickly as possible without him even noticing until I had it. It turned out to be a burned dvd of the online film, "Zeitgeist".
I had already seen the film before going to the burn this year, but this gave a me a good excuse to watch it again and pass it on to friends. Thanks to Mr. Doomsayer for handing them out during the burn.

I suppose the American Dream is whatever we want it to be. However, I feel like we should stop dreaming so much, and start building. In these ephemeral times, one should realize the amazingness of the internet, and how it has brought free speech and information to the bleeding edge of our reality. Then take a page from history, and recognize that fascist America has sought to marginalize, regulate, and disseminate information that advances the "cause" of the proletariat. ACTIVE. is the word that should resonate when politicians start barring access. When will you know it's happening... when they incite fear.
