Freedom River



Uploaded by: swimidiot
Video Description:
Concentrating on an area of growing concern in our society--the indifference that makes people blind to the injustices around them--this animated parable traces how the erosion of freedom, like the pollution of natural resources, can occur so gradually that both evade the attention of a busy and preoccupied nation. (Narrated by Orson Welles)

Its all a matter of who is going to take the initiative...are WE going to take RESPONSIBILITY and do the HARD thing or sit back and be complacent and allow those with the Big MOUTHS to continue telling us LIES or are we going to ACT???

Read Capitano's comment. This is an exellent interpretation of part of the video.

Why not. As a Neolibertarian I believe that freedom is the right of all of man. No dictator can stand in the way, or they will be destroyed.

exactly - thats why i is ouer responsability to bomb all diktators in the world (together with just a few inocent casulties) and bring those people freedom weather they want freedom or they are still unaware of the fact that all they want is freedom...... and coca cola and micky mouse and Mc Donalds .....

Well said. Democracy is the answer as democracies dont fight. Freedom and democracy will bring peace. Then the free world can have what it likes and what it wants.

You missed the point. Democracies dont fight other Democracies. If the worlds states are all democracies, then the there will be less wars. In theory.
Explaining political theory to dummies. Aaaaagggghhhhh!

so why us-amerika hinders then the development o f demokracy in so many countrys arround the world by finacing citiczen and terrorism, puting Diktators in place and by assasinating demokratik politicans ??? do you want me to make you a list ???
I dont generally ... ( 3 months ago by SayNoToIslamofascism)
I dont generally support that. Im a neolibertarian (look it up). In some cases, by doing that it can prevent another dictorial element: Communism for example taking a foot hold. The dictator kills the communists, then we move in and remove him, taking out 2 birds with one stone. Dont make me a list, lists bore me. Im educated enough to know all the dictatorships in the world.

stick to the question - why doe
´s US-Amerika stopps demokracies to develop just because the have a left wing aprosch and don´t act in fevor of the US but in there own. - Even when they go for Comunism, you have to accept it.

If this were made today, I'd say the wise man is a parallel of Colin Powell. He was the only intelligent man in Bush's inner circle and the only one with the guts to actually oppose him. Sure he had to present evidence of WMDs before the UN, but at leas the admits he was wrong.

Hitler was elected, bush was appointed.

Does he help support the families that are broken as a result though....I suspect he sleeps very well on his fine quality bed in his mansion behind the moat and drawbridge. We should be boiling these people in oil.

Who are you people talking about? I live in Europe and am under the impression that all republicans are neocons apart from Ron Paul but he's just dumb
It is because there ... ( 2 months ago by KiyaraSabel)
It is because there are warmongers in office. Many Americans do not support it at all, most of us are simply being lied to, and far too many people in our country simply don't know or don't care what is actually being done in our name.

I think this gives a small parallel to conservatism...people look back on how things "were" and don't want to change, ignoring any benefits to society. It also shows how capitalism gives power to the greedy.

the only problem with this story is, it keeps needing to be retold.
the American public ... ( 1 week ago by snorgisborg2)
the American public has no say in these matters and no real effect on anything. Many if not disillusioned by the political process are dumb enough to believe that there's power in voting.

I sincerelly think that this message is beyond the simple definition of government, because if you think carefully people who are on the government are just as human as you and me. This is a general message to harmony and respect, to honesty and justice. We are all free, but we need to respect that not everyone is equal to us, and stop rebelling and causing rebelion. War only generates war.
If everyone applaudes this matter it will just keep on going and going. If people took a stand...

Wow - that video is a spookily accurate portrayal of the nature of democracy today. They should show that in cinemas before films instead of the 30 minutes of adverts - people need to see it!
