I'm going to have to watch that movie again.
I had seen the original Zeitgeist a couple of years ago, which had a lot of great info, but was of course very controversial. (There are now tons of websites attempting to refute it.) I just found out that there is a sequel called Zeitgeist Addendum. I haven't watched it yet, except for just a few minutes of it. I did see part of an interview with the guy who made the movie, and he was talking about the money aspect. He seemed to indicate that all the problems in the world are because of cultural programming and scarcity. A friend told me about it and said she was really blown away by it - very inspired, but after I heard part of that interview, I felt less interested in watching his movie. But I probably will anyway one of these days, because of my friend's recommendation. That's about all I can say, until I see it.

I did not mean to make presumptions on your part but did so anyway. I would also state that I do think it's extremely beneficial to evaluate the situation from all angles as you are doing, and declining to judge only when you feel your mind is made up. Too often we jump to judgment first without thinking, so kudos for that!
OK and thanks!
