I'm loving these today. Watched Kevorkinan and Omar Broadway Film.
Kevorkian has the right idea. People should have the option to end it instead of suffering. Love that he is now speaking at colleges with the hopes that they will bring about change. It was hard to watch the actual footage of the people saying they wanted to die. Based on my life and hospital experiences, there is a lot of suffering with death and sometimes the quality of life a person has before they go is so horrible that it makes you wish you could offer them an easy way out.
Omar Broadway Film was sick. He snuck a camera into newark prison and some of the footage was nuts. I get that the cops have to use force to control them in order to not get hurt. However, living in a tiny cell meant for solitary confinement with another person, only getting outside once a week, only showering about every three days and having to fight for basic shit like toothpaste would be enough to turn anyone violent.

IDK I watched on demand. I'm still upset I missed the autism one. I'll have to check out this gasland one, although I dont know if I will actually watch it or not. Our world is so fucked up and when i watch shit like that it kind of scares me. I know I'm weird.

It was pretty good. I should have went with my instinct and not watched it cuz it was scary, but well done. I hope I am wrong, but it is going to happen to us. The gas companies cannot be stopped. They have too much $ and the people in power want $ so who cares if we destroy the world. As long as the higher ups get paid its all good. We all get poisoned, suffer horrible health effects because of it, and have no clean water, but who cares someone is getting paid.:disappoin Now time to watch some always sunny so I can sleep.

I would rather be informed. It is nothing new that we are destroying the world, but the extent of it can be quite overwhelming. I wish more people had a clue, maybe change would happen. The sad thing is, I think most people live in a bubble and think all is fine and good. It really is not. We are kind of fucking ourselves hardcore and we keep getting worse and worse.

Its the same as always, the informed taking advantage of the miss informed, usually at the there own hand....
Gas is something we are going to have to deal with because we have 100 year supply of gas and a 30/50 year supply of oil, and maybe a 10/15 year supply of affordable oil, so gas is something you are going to have to start informing yourself about unfortunately..

I think it would be more beneficial to be informed of possible solutions and things I can do. I mean I know its a huge problem, I might not know the extent of the problem, but i know it is something we need to fix. Like I said I said earlier stuff like this scares me, not that I have no clue. Now as for most people out there, I don't think they have any clue that this is even a problem. As sad as this is to admit, I have a friend that had no clue about the oil spill several weeks in. To me that was scary. It does make me feel better that my 3 year old niece likes to shout out "they're the ones that made the oil spill" any time we pass the BP station.
