but it video files don't show up when using Firefox 1.5 on a Mac. May I suggest fixing that? I can see the cute photo of the dog & fawn in Firefox, but not the screenshots. Firefox is taking off as a browser and I would highly suggest that your site be made compatible. Surprizingly this part of your site works with Safari (Mac's browser), but not Firefox.
This amazing and horrifyingly scary documentary is available for streaming or download at

Here's an idea....
We wait until next year when the Democrats regain control of Congress, thus making Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House. Then we can impeach both Bush & Cheney. With them out of the picture, we have our first female President - from San Francisco, no less....
Seems like a pipe dream, and probably is.
For more thinking out loud, read this:

Thank you Orville for going to Iraq and reporting on the situation first hand. Thank you for telling us the real situation, as much as anyone can know what is going on.
Robert Simms - I'm only 32 and knew from the start that Gulf War II was a bad idea and based on false pretenses. I was out there protesting in San Francisco with my compatriots.
I don't know how to resolve the mess we're in, but we can't just pull out now and leave the country to descend into Civil War, even though it looks like we're standing on the sidelines as that happens now. Again, I don't know how to proceed, I just know that my heart is heavy with sorrow at this whole darn mess. I hope that democracy and peace can prevail in Iraq, but I fear that won't happen.
I'm in Minneapolis for a little bit, and I just saw this film. I was lucky to see it here on opening night, as the theater was packed. I was very impressed with his presentation and his reflection on his life and his passion. I hope that this gets more and more widespread distribution and encourages people to TAKE ACTION. This film learned a lot from the failings of Fahrenheit 9/11, where there was no guidance at the end of the film. The website www.climatecrisis.net was displayed all through the credits, and they interjected action items that individual people can do throughout the credits. There were also flyers available on tables in the lobby.
The science was presented in a clear, concise and interesting manner. I'm a lay person, but interested in science and got an A+ in honors chemistry a *long* time ago and this held my interest. I think we need to stop talking about if this is true or not or to what degree this is happening and TAKE ACTION now to do what we can do as individuals and make our politicians do what they have to do or get new ones. There is hope, but only if we act together and soon.
