KPFA is an amazing tribute to freedom of speech. Now, if we could liberate the airwaves and stop corporate broadcast media's stranglehold on the free flow of news, information, ideas and cultural and artistic creativity, we could be better informed and our kids may actually be more creative. The "buy me that" mentality starts with advertising and is ingrained deep within the school system as well as mass media.

I was so inspired by this film. It made think about a lot of things like community, and intent, and how one idea in one person can change other people's lives for a time to come. KPFA is a very critical part of our cultural landscape--both regionally and nationally.

For some time I've been involved with global population/sustainable environment issues with ZPG, Sierra Club, Audubon and others. Been to conferences, workshops and meetings. All are serious and committed people but with little expressed passion and even less vision of what a sustainable world would be like to construct and live in.

I got involved because one day I realized my grandchildren may be in the generation that experiences the violent ravages of a disintegrating civilization as billions of people fight over insufficient space, and resources.
There were 2 billion people on the entire planet less than one hundred years ago. There are 6 billion now and total population increases another 1.5 million every week. The planet is already being stripped bare and despoiled. Eventually despair will penetrate our borders as it has elsewhere.
Watching this show raised some questions- where's the passion in this fight to save the planet. What would be the response of those who are portrayed in this program had todays sustainability dangers been known then as they are now?

Earthday observances seem to have less feeling of urgency now than when it started and there were only half as many people consuming (collectively)a quarter of what they are now.

Where are the radical protestors, the poets, the spokespeople? Where are the demonstrations?

Maybe they are all doing what I'm doing- expecting salvation to come from someone else than ourselves.
Great show,
Thanks
