  1. Looks great, but as always with the corporate media: too little too late. When this was actually needed, nobody was speaking up for fear of being ostracized and loosing everything.

  5.  @Fafnd  And like him or not Bill Marher lost his network show Politically Incorrect for merely saying that the hijackers were not cowards.

  6.  @nathasyapramudita6312  Each generation brings the enthusiasm of life not yet jaded by the actual fact that the evolution of society moves at a snails pace compared to the possibility of conscious evolution possible for some individuals. I always admire those who can bring the insights of their own awareness to concrete fruition as regards human culture. Despite this: In my view the belief that people choose their opinions based on self-aware choice is an illusion. Rather they merely entertain the thoughts that arise automatically as a result of feelings that result from a combination of factors both interpersonal and metabolic. They generally refer to this completely automatic process as "I" and because of this are captive of the further rationalizations that also arise automatically in their "mind" which they refer to as "my thoughts", "my beliefs". "my opinions", "my attitude", etc. In this sense a documentary like this is like a collective rationalization. I am about halfway through viewing it. So far no mention of W's total ineptitude/exploitation of a crisis for political/personal gain (take you pick), no mention of the Taliban having been breed in Saudi sponsored madrassas, no mention that the Northern Alliance were drug dealers, no mention of the fleecing of the public by various contractors for dubious and ill-considered ends and means, etc. etc. So, as the blind man said, "We shall see. , , ,"
