Hi John,

Interesting, I watched the first small bit, have to check out the 
entire film later tonight. It did remind me of this, which I had 
meant to post the other day, a short film on Youtube about "The Story 
Cap and Trade" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA6FSy6EKrM). This 
film is very anti-cap-n-trade, but positions it not as some 
governmental conspiracy to enslave the world, but as another in a 
long line of schemes developed (in this case by the likes of Enron 
and Goldman Sachs) to create a scheme designed to transfer more 
wealth and more power to, what your film calls, America's Ruling 
Class. The reason I had wanted to refer to this film, was that it 
sides with conservatives as being very much against cap and trade, 
while siding with enviornmentalists who see a problem in the amount 
of pollution being released into our ecosystem. I am sure (safe bet) 
people like Platt will decry the film as being naught more than 
leftist, commie propaganda, but I think it demonstrates that the 
positions surrounding the environment are not as Holy War like as some claim.
