Nice work Al. I definitely can relate; I view the world the same way. I just hope I can help make it a better place.

@xihearthe80sx Thank you so much =)

Cool film, however, you should probably know that one of the composers of the piece that you used during the "revelation" scene is not cited. His name was Holst and you used an arrangemen of a movement named "Jupiter" from his symphony "The Planets".
