You say you want a revolution...

If you want to change the system, watch this video about the last time of big protests in this country - the Vietnam War era. A little historical perspective for your general enlightenment. It's called the US vs John Lennon, and is mainly a biography of Lennon, but other activists are in there telling the story.

US vs John Lennon

It provides good insight into how politicians view and react to activists who start to become a little too effective. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

If you can, rent the DVD because the extras contain some really good commentary comparing the criminality of the Nixon adminstration to that of the Bush administration, and other good stuff.

Jnana you are a very wise man. I always get insight from your posts.
I came across your thread today and I thank you for posting this video on John Lennon.
It's really a wonderfull one . I wrote the following to a friend after watching it:

John Lennon is one of these beings that understood that Love is our freedom . The story of his life is sadly a touching one .
People of his generation fought to give Love a right to express itself. I believe they opened a breach in the solid wall of separeteness.

Today time for fighting is over ..I feel we have moved a step beyond and that what we have to do.. is remember that we are Love ..that Love is our essence. Love is the unifying factor that transcends dichotomies.

Despite the strangeness of events that we are finding ourselves into on this plane Love always finds a way to step into our lives .

And finally if you look closely into it ..the moments that really count .. that have any meaning and value are those when we can share it.

Maybe that the only single reason to live.. is to Love.

Love is real...

Keep that light in your heart.

Loving kindness
