Yesterday I had some time so, I decided to make this movie using the XtraNormal.com online software. It took WAY longer than I thought it would but was lots of fun.
While making it, I had the idea of quoting Miss South Carolina 2007 answering a question in the Miss Teen USA contest. It was a perfect fit and worked better than I thought it would. At first I had the protagonist almost making fun of the clueless waitress, but in the end, I just had to make it compassionate and have him show her some kindess. After all ~ that is The Way.
I also seized the opportunity to suggest checking out Rense.com. As always, have an open mind, especially when you visit Rense.com! There's some really good information running through that site, you just have to know how to filter it and use your good judgement.
As American politicians search for cuts in State and Federal spending to balance the economic scales, they are aiming to cut into social programs instead of concentrating their fire on the issues that have actually led to our current, monstrous debt situation: Military Expenditures, Corporate Welfare, and Foreign Aid. As the Wars in the Middle East rage on, America is spending an astronomical amount of money in other nations while our own falls apart.
One particular target that has begun to hobble America is the insatiable attack against the public school system. Some may see it as necessary to balance the Fiscal Budget, but when a country spends more on the support of foreign countries than it does on its own future, one has to wonder whether the politicians pushing this agenda are truly serving the interests of the American people. When this question arises, We the People must begin to question the motives of the in-place system.
