If anyone took real interest in Les's speech on last week, try reading the novel "The Conviction of Georrge W. Bush". This book highlights many of Bush's key moments in command and lets you really know how many laws he has broken, and the number of deaths he has caused.

Movie on the weekend
les i took your advice and watched the Matrix in a different way the i would usually watch it. And i agree that if you watch how each character is influenced by power it changes the movie for sure..

Last weeks seminar really got me thinking, and the comment about the Giver was a good one. The giver was a lot like that lecture because of the way they had to recreate society. By recreating society you can name anything you want what you want. So who really says that Les even brought an apple to class?

I thought that movie last week was awesome. It was interesting how "Harry" had so much influence and changed the school completely.
Another great movie
The seminar last week made me think of the movie Zeitgeist. It's a pretty spectacular documentary, and you can watch it online. Just go to http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com to check it out. It's full of details that "They" don't want you to know. You'll never look at the world the same way!
A word of caution, the first part is a little tough to get through if you don't follow any sort of religion, but the second part is dynamite.

Vantage Point
This movie is amazing full of surprises that get you to ask questions. 8 strangers. 8 points of view. But only 1 truth. Full of power dynamics between the cast and the plot just get better and better right though till the end. “Vantage Point is a mind bending political action-thriller”
When i first watch this movie i didn't fully understand it but the second time around things became clearer. And it open my eyes of what could possible happen when power takes over your mind for the worse and for the better. If you are looking for some fast action and a power story line of world politics this movie is for you.

What should you believe?
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
