All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
I agree. I was just documenting what happened, not saluting it. As an editor, though, you are tempted to put in the most extreme and leave out the most sober. I balanced it out by avoiding the boring and keeping the most extreme rants out.
Overall, though, it was just as kooky as it appeared. The speakers all volunteered on the spot. There was no selection. I think the speakers provided a representative sample. And I think I got a representative sample of them.
No, I didn't think you were blaming me at all. I was just explaining the process because it is an interesting one. Even documentaries are never objective. What to leave in and out and editing craft the message. The pressures to entertain and inform impinge. It is an interesting AND FUN process.
Thanks CJ, for documenting it. Like Damien, I see an event where some people are attempting to hijack the movement for their own agendas. That's probably not a good thing.
I'm enjoying your book, CJ. I'm thinking about doing a series on it here at IBA, if you would not mind.
Yes the speeches were very freelance. It was a very open forum.
Wow! Any posts or a series on culturism would be wonderful. I would chime in or not as you liked. And, as always, I'd be happy to send some free promotional books to interested IBA respondents - if that helps.
At any rate, I am glad that you agree with or like enough of the book to be considering such a thing. That alone, makes my day! Thanks
TAXATION BY AN INELIGIBLE PRESIDENT IS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

ReplyDeleteCulturist John,
ReplyDeletePersonally, I agree with much of the sentiment in the video. But some of those people just went a bit over board.
