Great post. One thing that I found interesting was that, in your words, "Rick made the film he believed in, not something he thought would be sexy or award winning". Does that mean that he didn't first survey his market to see if there was a demand for this type of video? Or does it mean that he was really just doing this as a "hobby" and not necessarily for profit? Either way, it is great to see someone create and share something simply because they feel that it is important. Profits, and accolades, shouldn't always be our primary motive. Thanks again for all that YOU do and share. Dr. George Burroughs Thanks, Ken. Great post.

That evening I saw the documentary "The Most Dangerous Man in America" at a Village theatre. I had met Daniel Ellsberg years ago at a World Federalist meeting. During the breakfast meeting, I told her about Fred Haas, a conscientious objector during the Vietnam era, who asked me to help him reject his just received draft papers. I replied that he would have to claim world citizenship and register with our world government first. He agreed delightedly and we then informed the authorities - UN SG, Prez Eisenhower, local draft board - of his new affiliation. Result, he became untouchable! Why? He had exercised sovereignty! Just like the Founders. Judith loved the story. I hope she wins the Oscar Sunday. It's a great show. Best, Garry Hi Ken,
