What Would It Look Like?
What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions? Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization? This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.

Non response
I would hope that other readers noticed that I responded to your challenges with substantive arguments, refuting your inaccuracies and illogical propositions with the mere truth. You, on the other hand, can only submit such subjective taunts as, "I only wish you could see the hate and separation you are causing within your own perception of reality." Until you let go of "perceptions of reality" and embrace and love Truth as a loving mother does a tiny baby, holding it deep in your heart and respecting it for the beautiful gift that it is, you will only be able to respond with vacuous and vapid emotional blatherings.

"Here, my friend, is where your true "vile hypocricy" shines like a Nazi swastika."
I'm sorry you see life this way Keck. I only wish you could see the hate and separation you are causing within your own perception of reality. I hope you will one day see the pain you are causing to your self.

I respect you being blunt, and will be with you in return. You said,
"She is the one who will care for the child after birth, not you nor anyone else."
That is actually false. In The USA, and many other countries, by law the father of the baby is responsible for the child until he is 18yrs of age.
"The child is HER responsibility and by making it illegal for her to [kill her baby] have an abortion, you are interfering with HER rights as a human."
I inserted the bracketed words for accuracy. Isn't she interfering with the rights of, as you say at the beginning of your statement, "The child" when she kills him or her?
"The bottom line is that an unborn fetus is the property of the mother."
A long and bloody civil war was fought in this country, America, to refute the idea that anyone can be considered "the property" of another. A black man, a woman, a baby, none of these are the "property" of ANYONE! And a side question: How is it that a baby is a non-human "property" in the birth canal, but somehow miraculously becomes a human being one second later, out of the birth canal?
"As far as I am concerned the fetus is hers to do as she wishes."
Again, that same argument was made by Democrats in the American South a couple of centuries ago. Simply substitute the word "Fetus" with the word "Slave" and you will have an exact horrific parallel.
"Live and let live my friend..."
Here, my friend, is where your true "vile hypocricy" shines like a Nazi swastika.
Peace be with you, at any stage of your life.

"vile and egregious hypocrisy"
I see you have this thing about abortion. Thing is, it is not up to you nor anyone else what a woman does who is carrying the fetus. She is the one who will care for the child after birth, not you nor anyone else. The child is HER responsibility and by making it illegal for her to have an abortion, you are interfering with HER rights as a human.
The rights of a human do not come into play until the human is born into the world. The rights of the mother come first. The bottom line is that an unborn fetus is the property of the mother. Neither you nor I nor any law has the right to tell her what she can do with her unborn child. As far as I am concerned the fetus is hers to do as she wishes. She's the one responsible once the fetus is born into this world. Then you can throw all kinds of laws to protect the child or the mother.
Why is it that we have to be so nosy about how other people act? The idea of the movie is to be more understanding, not be more intrusive!
Live and let live my friend... I believe you are sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong... that is... dealing with abortion.
I know I'm being blunt, but it seems to be the only way to communicate with some folks.
peace be with you
I think the message was very
I think the message was very clear and human, unless we stop PREJUDISM and iniquality we as human will continue to strogle trying to find a solution.
SOME NATION CLASSIFY PEOPLE AS: WHITE (ANGLO-SPEAKING) HISPANIC (SPANISH SPEAKING,) and they made it clear: A HISPANIC IS anyone descending from the spanish culture, , WHITE ,YELLOW OR ABORIGEN). So you find yourself with a new race, you are Hispanic...SO, RACE==WHITE, HISPANIC, ANY OTHER...LET'S EMBRASSE AND RESPECT OUR UNIQUENESS.

"Life is continually changing, growing. Humans can also grow."
Forgive me, but this is false. With the abortionist, as with slavery, there are certain humans who are NOT able nor allowed to grow. At the whim of someone else, these poor humans are murdered while in the very process of growth. I'm sorry, but until your compassion and concern extend to these little innoncents as well as their suffering ex-utero fellow human beings, and you also extend your condemnation of such injustice to the murderers themselves, I am compelled to believe that your words for "human growth" and dignity of life ring at best, hollow, and at worst, of vile and egregious hypocrisy.
Joe, I think it is great
Joe, I think it is great that you are so moved by this film to leave such an emotional comment. I understand what you are saying. I can look at your point of view and agree. However, what the film is trying to project, and what CreatorsDream is desiring to share, is that we, and that is "WE" can change the way things are. What it takes is a personal, and I mean "PERSONAL" desire to change the way we see AND become the person we desire for others to be.
Life is continually changing, growing. Humans can also grow.
Thanks for sharing!
What would it look like?
As writer, I was very impressed with Mr. Lee's program. It was of a superior direction and production, and Mr. Lee is a very talented film maker.
However, the content was very deceptive and one might even say, insidious in it's perversion of truth.
A few questions, if I may:
Of all the mentions of violence and the horrors brought about by it, why was there no mention of the horrors of millions of babies ripped to pieces and burned alive inside their mothers wombs every year?
Why was Barack Obama shown as a leader of hope, speaking of ending violence when he himself has his own hands virtually dripping with the blood of many of those murdered babies?
Why did one of your speakers strongly imply that the slavery of today's economic structure is worse than the slavery of two hundred years ago when in the latter, one could lay open the back of a man for any reason his master saw fit? How could he compare the yanking of a baby from a mother's breast to be literally forced into beastly labor never to see that mother again? How dare he!
And finally, why does the producer not see that there is no compromise with Hitler, there is no compromise with Stalin, with Kim Il Jong, with Hugo Chavez, with NARAL, or any other purveyors of slavery, the annihilation of the weak and defenseless innocent in the form of abortion, and those who would deign to tell a free people "What is best for the them"? Why does he not see that there is no compromise with evil, there is only defeat of it? For there is no such thing as 'half evil, half good' or a bi-partisan mix of truth and lie.
Until those in that very well produced an directed film I just saw are ready to embrace truth, however ugly it may look, un-tainted, un-adulterated, and un-blemished with the "compromise" of a Socialistic "Better for all" philosophy as did the the socialists known by the name, Nazi, then they will not be worthy of such a divine gift as Peace.
