Recorded at a Texas Tech game on Feb 9, 2008, the entire arena remains completely motionless and silent throughout the song. The two girls on the right are six years old, the two in the middle are seven, and the one on the left is eight.

Thanks to Joan and Christina.

1 of 31 folks in US are in prison, on probation or on parole. Cost $47B in 2008!

The headline here says it all. This is totally nuts. It would be much cheaper for everyone to buy a baseball bat and a dog and then let about half the people of out prison. I figure a huge number of people are in prison for either low grade drug offenses—or for just not being white middle class.

If accurate, the stats in this video are very illuminating. My heart goes out to the young people of Iran.

Great message - watch entire video

Well worth your time to watch. Simple, beautiful and truthful.

Note: created for an AARP video contest, yet aimed squarely at the youth.

Remember the director who brought us Twin Peaks? He's working hard to raise money for kids to learn meditation (TM). Check it out at David Lynch's site.

Anything for a smoke

Half way through the video, I noticed it was about smoking. Got distracted by all the hiding places.
