What we should do is rip out the concrete parking lots, hightways and byways and grow food on top of these monuments to unsustainable communities.

So we're going back before the age of sterilized medicine and industrial agriculture? THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE

If more than fifty percent of our money goes basically for things that don't feed our welfare, but do feed our frivolous "needs" like a new shoe, a new clothe, a new handbag, a new car... What do you guys think that would happen if we stopped consuming the unnecessary things? Why would we study so hard, or work so hard?

Hello. Thank you for your reply. I see your point, and it is valid; however, it strays from that raised earlier, in regard to violence, of any kind, being used as justification for various control schemes, many of which are those being "rebelled" against in the first place.

Whether destroying a person or a thing, you will provide the authorities video clips to play on the news, used to further terrorize and control society, what equates to providing ammo to be shot with.

I would like to point out the difference between violence and elimination or stuff / garbage. It is also mentioned in this video that "you cannot violate a building or a window." these people would not rip apart a human being in order to prove a point, these people are (throwing out the trash) in a nutshell making room for better. NOT by attacking individuals, but by destroying the "persona" a corporation has become. It is VERY important that the HUMAN BEINGS realize this difference.

@brokenluciddream honestly this is the fist ever DVD I purchased.. and well worth the money.

The film is lying. Growth is a problem in itself. Distribution solves the problem for a couple of years, not more. Source: "The most important video you will ever see" then join Intelligent Union!

No, liberals want to find a "sustainable solution" to keep the economy, the state, etc in tact. We do not wish to prolong this situation any longer.
