2. Have not seen it yet but it has some real free thinkers and even Amy Goodman!

“Looking back on almost half a century of research, including thousands of books, films, interviews with experts from diverse fields, if I were to pick one common denominator to all the facets of my quest, it would be the TORUS, the fundamental energy pattern that invites our alignment at every level of our existence for us to survive and thrive.”

6. I have mixed feelings about it. What he says about the "endgame" of the 1% may very

well be true (seems more like a reality every day), but the solutions get a little hand wavy at the end. Yes, we need campaign finance and election reform, but how do we achieve that when every branch of government is corrupt? And what's his "needs of the individual" alternative to Democracy or Socialism? I think that he was talking about a resource based economy like that proposed by the Zeitgeist movement, but I'm not sure. I asked a physicist friend to weigh in on the torus theory, but he hasn't had the time to watch it yet.

8. Same here re the mixed feelings.

I'd be very interested to know what your physicist friend thinks about it, too, so I hope you share. :)

3. Watched it over the weekend and it was excellent.

Everyone should see it.

4. Very interesting.

Much of it resonated with me, but other parts will require some thought.

Technical question: I downloaded Firefox to view the website because I have to stick with IE7 for work and that was too old for them. However, I got all kinds of warnings from Firefox about the website certificate not being valid, possibility of viruses, etc. Has anyone here accessed the website without problems?

5. I have Firefox and I didn't get any warnings of any kind

odd. :shrug:

7. Weird.

Okay, thanks for the reply. Maybe it was just an issue of updating the certificate or something.
