Misguided message, but I like the visual style you used to create this video. Very unique! :)

to greenwarriorbunny. no special effects here, these are only all my photographs strung together.. any editing with the beat of the song is completely incidental, though i understand that the sequencing is a bit disorienting!!

@vidkidxyz Just so you know, there actually does happen to be someone who walked 1243 miles to get to DC. We all also carpooled and did as many other things as possible to limit the amount of carbon footprint we left while in transit to dc. Please do not make assumptions before speaking.

I thought you had to go to FRANCE to observe 'actual democracy' in action.

@vidkidxyz Work to get them a meaningful alternative and watch how fast they take it. We all have to live in this world as it is for now; some people are at the same time trying to change it for the better. So why criticize them?

Your alternative seems to be to shut up and ride the machine quietly into the ground. Not exactly viable. Good luck to your grandchildren (assuming someone deigns to sleep with you)--they're going to need it if myopic individuals such as you continue to have their way.

Ah.. All good little Communist "useful idiots" doing what they do best.

These people should of course disconnect their homes from all power sources...

They should not eat the food grown anywhere other than their backyard...

They should remove the clothes and shoes made with synthetics.

and then wonders if they walked to get to DC? Not likely..

All hypocrits...

@greenwarriorbunny

I have to totally agree with the editing/format this this video is in. It is extremely visually distracting. Hard to watch, and does not get your message across because it is so hard to watch/comprehend what is going on. You have a lot of great photos from the event. Keep the music but redo the slide show/video so that someone was not there can read the signs, make sense of the audio and comprehend your message. Just my .02 cents worth.

You really captured the feel of the day!! :)
