This is a film that nearly won the film shorts contest this month here in Tucson at the Loft Cinema. I think it should have won, but it sort of hit second. To me, this is brilliantly expressed. LOVE IT!!!

FREE THE JENA 6!!! | AZ | TucsonTo raise money for the legal fund of the Jena 6, I've designed a t-shirt... each shirt will raise $5 that I'll then send to the defense fund. I doubt I'll raise much, but if it helps any, it's worth the effort... so tell people.

THE STUMBLING BLOCK - Killing Creation for the Love of the Creator
Submitted by PaganBear on Mon, 2007-09-17 04:23. bigotry | mother nature | Movie | Religion | Saving the World | AZ | TucsonFor the past couple of months (I think) I've been hard at work on a film. Now, as some of you may know, I'd been making fun short films, such as The Value of a Human Life, which I'd posted here before. But it occurred to me to jump on board and do something HUGE.
A full-length movie... one that tells the entire store. Not just of how I'd learned all I did about religion, but how I came to be an Ishmael fan and come to understand the world as I do. I'd like to share that film with you all...

A Talk By Guy McPherson

The invitation to speak today is quite an honor, and I appreciate the opportunity. It’s also quite a challenge, because I know so little about what you do. As I understand personal health, from my medical doctor, I should eat less and exercise more. I assume public health means everybody should eat less and exercise more. That’s about all I know about public health, and I assume it’s not quite the whole story.

So what IS the value of a HUMAN life?

made this video because it occured to me to use the rich's language about SUPPLY AND DEMAND to really set a true and real value for our species. I think it should either make people think, or piss off the right ones... tell me what ya think.

Kirk Cameron and some idiot named Ray Comfort, trying to prove the creation of God using a banana for evidence.
