The day after their "God or No God?" debate, friends Christopher Hitchens and Larry Taunton took their second road trip - this time through Yellowstone National Park, since Hitchens had never been. Along for the ride were the rest of the Fixed Point Foundation staff. The world's first national park boasted spectacular views, geysers, hot springs, buffalo, and the like - enjoy!
i remember when first seeing this video, that there was a haste in hitch's steps... the pace of a man who knows there is so much awe and wonder in the world, but his own time to catch it all was sadly limited. rip hitch.

@hungryman211 (cont) And that is the difference between secularists (even religious ones) and fundamentalists. Removing 'god' from the paper currency or from an oath does not impede anyone from going to there place of worship on Sunday (or whatever day your particular religion choses to congregate). However the inclusion of religious servility in a pledge of allegiance prevents any atheist with conviction from participating, just as much as it would prevent any Christian if it were to 'Allah'.

Nice video and I thank you for uploading it. The comment at the end, however, was naive. Who are 'the rest of us'? Does that include everyone? Will a bomb-toting jihadist be joining you for your next trip? There is leeway and common ground available between secularists and non-fundamentalists of all religion. However, there will be no ground given to those who seek to IMPOSE there beliefs on others by force, intimidation, and the manipulation of governments.
