Besides the crappy comments..beware. This is not an idealistic movement. BMW and Nobel sponsored, always behind closed doors..Its just another bilderberg meeting, under a pretty blanket of ecology. The Rainbow Gathering is also a setup by the Green Bilderberg. Yes. Rockefeller and Monsanto are indeed very green. Don't believe the hype. This is about sharade, distraction, ego and a disguised meet between powerful and influencial people to make undemocratic decisions for all of us. Nazis galore!

It must have been a fascinating experience to see the presentation first-hand with all the high-resolution images.

I thought about it as I heard him speak. And it took me a moment, but the way he spoke really did reaffirm the entire theme of the presentation. It was his inquisitive manner of speaking that reminded me that we human beings are the ones doing this investigation of ourselves, the Earth, and the Cosmos. In other words, the way he spoke reaffirmed who we are. (aka, who *i* am)

lovely film, pity about the one liners after one liners after.... could have been more lyrical. maybe it was that trip he took to the land down under with their upward inflexions at the end of every sentence...

Being Dutch, I cannot stand a Dutch accent!

Great imagery though, Frans is one of the best.

I have the same problem. And his intonation is weird. }|:op
I've heard far worse Dutch accents, though. And it's a very nice slide show.

Absolutely. What's he like at breakfast? "I would like some toast?" "Can I have a boiled egg?". or in the boudouir: "Yes...yes...right there?", "oh baby you've got what it takes?"
