Ray, thank you for that thoughtful response. My problem with the video is that (to me) it comes across as preachy. Also, it is not hard enough on the corporate oligarchs and government officials that take corporate bribes (such as using the word "may" instead of "do"). I am a big supporter of non-violence, and am a part of several non-violent organizations in my state. Yet, non-violence doesn't mean that you can't use strong language when it is called for. MLK called the capitalists out; he called the moderate liberals out, yet he was a paean of non-violence. The video didn't come across as blaming individuals, but it came across as weak towards the main perpetrators destroying our planet. These oligarchs are not going to grow a conscience by being educated. They know the facts, and admit they know the facts in internal memos, yet still continue on their destructive paths.
