Zeitgeist 3 - Moving forward

I am watching this movie Zeitgest 3 which I want to share with you. This movie AWESOME it has my full attention, and I want to learn more. It's so nice to hear people speaking words that I have been feeling for years. I bet John Lock never knew what the effect his words have had on the whole world. Lets hope people realise how to change our behaviour so the next generation can live long and happy lives.
