Subject: What we don't Know~~ (2006)
There is more to this nation (USA) that we don't know than we do know. People pray in a church, and their sons are abroad killing folks in a war- probably for the reason of an impending oil crisis or scare of one. We are told to save money to be smart, so we shop at large discounters that get their goods in Asia or overseas, nothing is being made in the USA (almost). What we don't know is a LOT. The people that live in wealth continue at a speed of life fast enough to eclipse any feelings of doubt that they should live otherwise- ignorance can be bliss I guess. GENE

We are controlled by a small group of dominate men. The worst ruled and most completely controlled government in the civilized world. Some of the biggest men in the United States are afraid of something. They know that there is a power, so organized, so subtle, so interlocked, so complete that they had better not speak above their breath, when they speak in condemnation of it. -- Woodrow Wilson

Subject: It's not propaganda, or anything really.
After seeing this piece a few times, I'll have to disgree with the last comment. It's not anti-war, it's anti-revisionist-history if anything, but in reality I'm not sure what it is.

First off, I'm not sure why this one was selected as the winner, because to me the production value (if that's what they call the poorly animated narrator,) does not make up for the bad pacing and strange compositon.

I can see how this is against forgetting history, but it doesn't really say why. Plus, it uses American war footage, but the "host" is clearly not American. What is that trying to say? The other entries had clear case-examples on what happens when history is forgotten. This one just kinda hinted that it can't really be forgotten, even though the danger isn't forgetting history, it's rewriting it where people can justify atrocities.

The other entries were much better in my opinion. This one just doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Shallow anti-war propoganda. No commentary on the various wars we've been in. Amazing.

I most definitely am not holding my breath waiting for next week's installment - "I".
