What a coincidence, I watched it yesterday.

That's the world we live in.

Do you know more documentaries like this? I'm watching many lately. Crash course, shock doctrine and others. Any suggestions?

Thanks madelaide.  A nice way to spend my evening.  Lots of good things to think about in that video.

I also liked the bit where they talked about how the growth economy is impossible.  That seems very relevant to microstock and the need for the investors to see constant growth, thereby squeezing the photographer for more %'s

I watched 'Story of Stuff' this summer but I didn't know they had more videos on other issues. Will watch them later.
Thank you.

This week I noticed that my Blackberry doesn't seem to be holding it's charge and I figured "must be 18 months" and sure enough it has been 18 months since I purchased it.  Stupid of me knowing about the "18 month" rule and signing a 3 year with the carrier.
