Sorry I watched half and then got worried it was one of House of Windsors Green Party type message. I'm happy it ended well then. Because that is exactly whats needed.
There are many very concerned with the exploitation of this planet, but some of it is just to try and suppress humanities progression, while some is right online with the concept of good technology, propelling our civilzation to a level 1 cosmic society rather than reset everyone.
So I was judging too quickly. Its a very good video then. Put out by real people for a change.

I stayed away for a few days, thinking it was going to be one of those "I'm from the Pleiades, and I've come with a message" threads......
......I guess I was wrong.

You had me until the last two phrases. To do away with national barriers erodes man's freedom in the worst way, because it minimizes his action in self determination. All people must be free to organize and rule themselves at the smallest level then working outward.
To do away with greed completely loses a bit of incentive we need to improve our lot in life. To do away with greed entirely would destroy the American ideal, that with hard work you can do and be anything you can imagine.
I do not want to live in a world governed only by science and reason. I believe in a higher spirituality which science and reason compliment. I want to live in a world filled with art and music and tolerance.
Also over the centuries we have learned democracies alone do not work---they lead to mob rule. We must strive to have a perfect democratic republic which checks and balances the will of the people with the justice of the law.
Do not let flowery speeches lull you in believing everything they say....think!!!!!
