Any chance you could shorten it down to a nice summary? Or maybe find a slightly shorter video? Right now, you're asking people to make quite a commitment to something they "can't" agree or disagree with.

Ok S&F for ya, but umm now that I know that I am a cow, what exactly am I supposed to do with that knowledge? The vid is right, but the problem remains that there is no escape, the whole worlds a farm so you will be dead meat no matter where you go!
You highlighted the problem without offering a solution
Atleast I know why Im depressed now
Thanx

Part of me thinks you are right.All of me hopes you are.
But, part of me(the Machiavellian part) also suspects another false dawn. I've always mantained that the best means of quelling a revolution is by endorsing it.
For example, the Hippy movement went from a summer of love to a commercialised commodity to be sold as mass produced tie-dye shirts, plastic peace signs and any other aspect of it that could fetch a dollar.Now the Hippies are a laughing stock, a quaint naivety from the last century.
When I see the MSM trying to jump on the Occupy Bandwagon, along with various groups holding political agendas etc, it makes me wonder if the Occupy movement hasn't already been co-opted.If this occurs, we can forget the idea of peaceful protest ever working again and start sharpening the guillotines and stacking the pyres
