I have not seen Alex's response to "Zeitgeist: Addendum," but I will admit I was certainly shocked by the sequel. Utopian societies do NOT work because they do not address basic tenets of the human condition such as innate competitiveness, varying intellectual abilities, and mostly, the inability of a large group of people to remain in agreement on important principles. I questioned the group behind the film immediately since they espouse a "global" philosophy, an idyllic form of communism, atheism, and a "peace-love" mentality that failed even in the 60s when everyone was stoned all the time!
As a teacher, I would truly like to embrace globalism where all people get along and have the necessities of life. As an American citizen who has traveled all over the world, however, I realize that intense cultural differences will continue to promote disharmony as people try to "force" their cultural values upon others. Sad, but true. When I showed the movie to a former student, he was appalled and demanded to know when I "had joined the NWO people?" The more I think about his question, the more I suspect he saw right through the film immediately!
