I felt his frustration, it felt like my own frustration. For the past few years I have been on the verge of giving up on humanity. I have always dreamed of humanity evolving into an “utopian” type society. When I was a teenager, I thought for sure by the year 2000 we would be traveling the stars (treky fan). I find “money” disgusting because of the greed and violence we allow it to create. I have allowed the negativity of humanity to overwhelm me; Alex reminded me that in fact I should have been concentrating on humanity at its best. It’s difficult, especially when the greed and violence seems to be increasing, but I will work on that. I am stunned that his video/speech had such an impact on me.
I felt the exact same way when I saw that video back then.
Once you get to see the bigger picture, Pandora's box just pops up in front of you, only to reveal you a bigger picture

Here's a link I found some time ago, containing all the info he's spread out through out the years: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_andromedacom.htm

You see, I'm not a skeptic nor am I naïve. To the best of my ability I try to never "pick a side". Alex throws some "tough to swallow" material out there, which makes it even easier for skeptics to pick a side. But none the less, to me, it's all about his integrity and humility.
