wow. awesome!

[Coldkilla9]

These youtube videos should be promoted more.

He is probably changing more in the right direction than all the others put together. Even though we hate it, there is no way the mainstream media can be ignored. At least three billion people's minds are harnessed by the ideas propogated by that medium

[dmpeters]

He's a fraud or a fool just look a Al Gore and his believing that Al Gore was an honest man ..instead of the fraud that he is and was....not very perceptive I'd say

[MLBinwa]

Wow, what a great man. He's already had a huge impact on helping to wake up Millions of people.

I wish him much success and look forward to seeing all his films.

I just saw that he is an executive producer for Food Inc. Check it out, it's a must see if you care about real food.

Great message for a pop culture society to make a difference using entertainment. We just have to maintain clear minds, and not fall for some that could produce propaganda out of this kind of idea.

Every single voice on this great ball of diverse species, with infinite possibilities on our horizon of thought, good and bad, fundamentally alters our world and makes it different some where, at some time, to some one, to something. Your voices, your Choices, makes this happen, right this second.
