  • nlpnvc, Once again, great vidso. I really enjoyed the clip of MBR. Important to note, IMHO, that empathizing with "the other" isn't easy...takes practice. And the letting go of the enemy images is SO key!

    "Words are poor tools to describe the quality of fearlessness which exist between people who have chosen to connect in such a natural way." amen to that!

  • tbean thanks for watching and commenting. Marshal is a rock star if I get to determine what a rock star is :-D

  • if every person in the world had empa.thy,we would live in a outopia,paradise

  • This is brilliant. Great work putting these figures in dialogue. I loved the comparison between Bill Mahr ("what he needs is a little Bush") and Obama ("and that is a profound mistake"). Hope all is well bro!

  • NVCNLP, you are a genius!

    I've seen two masterpieces,

    and now I'm gonna check out all your stuff!

    Keep up the great work!

    (Although I appeared before Sotomayor, and I felt no empathy from her, and got a bad decision upheld. *My* challenge is to find empathy for this Judge, heading for SCOTUS whom I have great enemy images...:)

  • Wow! Never heard that before. But I like it.

    Sounds like, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.

  • Good use of film clips.

  • One of the universal principles (laws of nature) that I am learning about is stated like this: "You can't achieve a worthy outcome with unworthy means." Even so, I do find this idea of McNamara's to be interesting. I think a strong argument can be made either way.
