20. Your animation got me thinking: Does America Rule the World...?

I'm not so sure anymore... we certainly have stopped being a leader.

The U.S. is last in Health Care
We are ranked 30 something with respect to Free Press
We certainly don't have the strongest economy anymore
China could single-handedly destroy our economy by calling in our debt
The U.S. dollar is being dropped by more and more countries
The U.S. is the only U.N. country in opposition to the proposed U.N. resolutions on Humanitarianism
We torture
We engage in pre-emptive war
We can't even save our own people from a natural disaster with 5 days of warning
Our government feels it must spy on it's own people to keep them safe

Do we really "Rule the World?" I'm not even sure what that means anymore...

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. FReepers think so.

USA USA USA :patriot: :silly:

[Ava]

37. Bush thinks so

and that's scary.

[Ava]

[Twist_U_Up]

22. Thanks Ava !!

[datadiva]

23. Thanks Ava

Very well done :yourock:

edit spelling

[NoSheep]

25. Good job! The music was very powerful and the colors were

appropriate for the mood. I would only say the names ("George, Rummy, Dick")should be replaced with the real names. We get it, but I think the folks you want to impact would respond better to "straight" names and no slang. I'm sure you get my point. I wish I had your skill!

:yourock: :applause: :woohoo:

[specimenfred1984]

26. Excellent!

You said let you know what I think so here's goes the critic in me:

Video: Colors, size, fonts, timing = OUTSTANDING!
Pictures of neo-cons: Chimp and Rummy look too credible, Chumley looks realistically evil.
Message: Words like "impeach" need indisputable reasons to reach a wider audience, like "impeach for conspiracy to commit war" or "impeach for the war crime of torture".

Critical thoughts aside, you are really, really, really talented! Thanks for sharing and thanks for asking for my piddly little comments which you should completely ignore and/or listen to, as long as it doesn't interfere with your creativity.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

49. Thanks Ava, It Was Very Very Good! May I A Quick Comment?

The crosses are a powerful representation of the cost of the war, but I found the colors to not be visualized easily enough to truly perceive the raw number. The white blended away too easily amongst the green and I felt like the representation was actually just the number of green crosses. Any chance of changing the cross colors to be a bit more dramatic and visually apparent?

No biggie though, I thought the vid was great!

:toast:

[Ava]

50. thanks for the suggestion!

i'll play around with it. ;)

[LuckyTheDog]

56. Thank you for sharing, but mostly for doing. I will forward this to all.

This give me hope. We have a lot of young kids who see the fallacy in the way things are going. Listening to Luther, my son, 25years old, and his friends talk about whats happening in the world and the way we are going down the wrong path, you have to remember these kids were coming of age during the Clinton era. They weren't taught hate and discontent, only love and compassion. Yes, I have hope.

[Ava]

57. thanks
