I just watched that video. It was awesome. Are we not smarter than oxen? If they can do it; we can do it. I like your optimism. "But out of that degraded state, something brand new could emerge." I believe so too. I read on the net once the greatest deterrent to the recovery of our liberty is our inability to dream and the loss of imagination. If people see nothing but darkness, they will remain apathetic. People need a ray of light; they need a vision; they need optimism. Thanks for taking the time to bring that video here.

Remember the following famous words and recall what affect they had on people?

…I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia…
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi…
I have a dream that my four little children…
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama…
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope…

It is our hope.
