waking life is a truly incredible picture. this segment is notable, but the rest of the movie is MUCH better.

i'm an idiot. i edited a reply to you and then realized you'd never see it.

this was filmed specifically for the production. i'm in my 40s now (sucks), but i got big into his stuff right after 9/11. police state stuff during the w admin.. bohemian grove was huge.. some of his gotchas are still wow (david gruggen?).

he was a force maybe once? but definitely not now. i think it's good for people to know where he came from so they can help us prevent where he's going.

No sweat, I see two replies! I wonder if he actually believed this any more than he believed anything else he spouted. I'm inclined to believe he'd say whatever makes him money.

now? i'd agree with you.

back then? i think the thought he was really onto something.. and i did, too - at the time. 0

knowing what i know now, a "faggy" party - to quote Nixon, probably wasn't then what it's probably become now.
