Re: New Zeitgeist film out today.
I, for one, will admit that I was ignorant of the fractional reserve banking system and had to backtrack a few times to take notes for later review & comprehension.
Through the yrs I ran across bits & pcs but never had it portrayed in such a manner that is so easily understood.
And I've not yet read one critical word on this thread that negates the portrayal of the system ! To me, this film was revolutionary in its presentation and we simply must be the ones to endure the transition, however ugly it may be!
In the light of the present global economic crisis, it doesn't matter to me who put it out, nor what agenda might be behind it because the system has to GO... is responsible for the pain & suffering of the entire world. But I will say that it took a long time for this to be revealed, considering the pervasive use of the internet these days.
Thank you Chris Parson for letting your take on Sagan fall to the wayside, as 1) your opinion of someone is none of my business 2) it's not required in life to like everyone 3) ad hominems do tell of intention.
The 2nd half of the film gave the entire presentation its true value. Solution, vision, for without this, it's just another venting without direction.
Here we stand, quite possibly facing a very ugly revolution... but it has to be.
