    Watching the DVD "America: Imagine the World Without Her" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2785390/

    Excellent movie. I don't agree with everything in it such as the assertion the Civil War was to free the slaves, but overall it's an excellent movie and very well balanced albeit leaning right.

    How would you know? It seems like the majority of TV shows I watch are filmed in Canada, with Canadian actors, all pretending to be American.

    Apparently Vancouver can look just like Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Miami.

    Good point!

    Yes….. I have been noticing that especially over this past decade or so.

    You know…… if we Canadians and Brits….. .. had not messed up your central banking policy……. you Americans could have accomplished much much more?!

    An apology to all Americans from a Canadian, and a thank you!

    Some of my ancestors were Masons from Dixie who came to Country Harbour, Nova Scotia at the time of the American Revolution. I deeply appreciate the fact that so many Americans were closer to God than we Canadians tend to be and somehow your leaders were guided to not persecute us!

    …..

    I also wish to apologize for our elitism because it has been playing a significant role in your economic crash of 2008. If a higher percentage of Americans understood the full implications of truly wise monetary policy the world would begin to look quite different indeed!

    I recently read a book by near death experiencer Mrs. Ariela Solsol.

    Her NDE in 1967 included visions of a future..... where America had been knocked out as the policeman of the world............... and the earth became much like some sort of dark age vision of hell or purgatory!

    The world became dominated by an Islamic - Communist movement....... and absolute hell on earth was unleashed........ as criminals took over in pretty much all nations!

    Two reasons: More subsidies and Vancouver has a lot more overcast days, which makes it better for filming outside than sunny days in sunny locations.

    As for a world without America, I am guessing there would be a lot more Injuns.

    Now that is an intriguing observation!

    What do you think of the full text of post #8 here?

    Do you think the statistics are basically accurate?

    Should Leonard Peltier be released from prison?

    So far as I know they sound about right. As for Leonard Peltier, he murdered 2 FBI agents....he should be in prison.

    You could well have the wisest answer to this........ I personally don't know what to do..... but some of those who want him released have presented a case that has been making me ask questions and wonder about the possibility.

    Nothing wrong with asking questions. When people kill people, however, I find it much easier to jump to my answer.

    Yes..... keeping them in prison is a whole lot less expensive than the legal wrangling involved in attempting to enforce the death penalty!

    Even if it is not a capital case, killing someone won't get you much sympathy from me. I can be all for your cause but if you take a life, see ya.

    Yes...and it is almost certain that he was involved in the murder.
