I heard about this film a while ago, the producer was actually interviewed on CBC Radio, if I am not mistaken. He was, and still is, according to his statements, a hardcore environmentalist, but he is also realist.

I am just too damn cheap to pay $29.50 USD for a fil; I'll wait until Blockbuster has it for rent.

Watermelons. Green outside, red inside. As we know from sad experience, Reds have few compunctions about starving or killing outright as many people as it takes to get what they want.

I doubt a little green coating is going to make the red BS any easier to swallow.

The Free-Thinking Film Society in Ottawa is screening "Mine Your Own Business" this coming Tuesday, May 29, at 7 PM at the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Cost is $6.00.

Phantom sez:"Watermelons. Green outside, red inside. As we know from sad experience, Reds have few compunctions about starving or killing outright as many people as it takes to get what they want."

Yep, at the core of every "watermelon" id the heart of a "depopulist"...a population control zealot who sees his fellow species as a "plague" which Mother nature is trying to correct...whith the help of enlightened genetic monitors like himself of course who is also exempted from population control devices.

Had to chuckle at the voice over, "what if everything you thought about the environmental movement was wrong"?

I don't think he was speaking to me.

I witnessed the effect of environmentalist, anti development activism on a small town here in B.C., during the 60's and 70's. It's now almost a ghost town. "Quaint" lifestyle, though.

And I've watched every year, as activists try to shut down honest men's right to earn a living, the seal hunt, with absolutely no consideration for the economic well being of the people involved.

Same as when they shut down the seal hunt in Alaska during the 70's, and left the Inuit with no means to obtain food. When queried about the effect of the hunt closure on the lifestyle of the Inuit, one prominent "environmentalist" remarked, "that's not our concern. Our goal was to stop the killing".

People usually come LAST in their equation.

The "500 Millioner" is the greatest threat to any and all life on this planet.

Patrick Moore has been trying to tell the world about this GP crap for years.

Hands up -- all those who have heard of Patrick Moore.

Hands up --- David Suzuki.

Thank you CBC.

www.greenspirit.com Canada's best kept environmental secret.

Yes, Dr. Moore deserves a lot more exposure than he has gotten. Could possibly be that he carries some baggage from Greenpeace's overly reactionary past (that's putting it as politely as I could).
However, thanks to an interview he did on Calgary radio (770) one evening several years ago, he introduced me (and anyone who cared to listen) to the underlying problem of today's environmental movement: the "500 Millioner" group and former communist activists who wrestled control of organizations like Greenpeace from moderates like him. Let me tell you folks he didn't pull any punches when he went on to describe those anti-human psychopaths. An ugly situation which manifests itself in some of the plainly detached from reality and common sense arguments they make in regards to protecting the environment. Sinister manipulation is the name of the game and that's all these asocial personality disorder defective principals know.

It's long past time that environmentalists and other leftists stop leading by rhetoric and start leading by example.

Here are some examples I would like to see.

Dr. Fruit Fly and the Goracle: Stop talking about how horrible it is that this generation lives in houses bigger than their grandparents. Instead, sell your mansions and estates to buy carbon credits or give them to the First Nations. Move into 400 sq. ft. apartments and stop driving diesel buses and flying private planes.

Taliban Jack and followers: Stop demanding that the Canadian and western governments "negotiate" with the Taliban. Get over there and "negotiate" yourselves. Locate Taliban camps and parachute in with pamphlets extolling the virtues of peace and socialism. Send us back the videos of your successful negotiating sessions.

McSquinty and Red Miller: Stop demanding the banning of handguns. Get into those First Nation blockades, Jane-Finch high rise complexes and Hell's Angels clubhouses and confiscate the guns yourselves.

Naked exponents of "alternate life styles" and other assorted weirded out west coast wacko demonstrators: Stop marching naked in the streets of San Francisco with anti- Bush banners. Get naked and attack the Bush White House directly. Show your swollen scrota to the Secret Service folks.

Mo Strong and Greenpeace wackos who want the earth's population reduced to a billion or less. Stop talking. Start offing yourselves and encouraging your friends, acolytes and devoted followers to do the same. If enough folks feel the same way as you do, your goal will be achieved. If martyrdom is good enough for jihadis, it's good enough for you. Send the videos to Al Jazeera. 72 tonnes of GHG-free atmosphere await each of you.

I show Mine Your Own Business to my students in high school. It is a very compelling and heartbreaking documentary. It's too bad hundreds of thousands of complimentary copies aren't made to be given to schools, like was done for An Inconventient "Truth". But many teachers, alas, are not interested in telling their students about the realities of the environmental movement.

You really want to break their little hearts show them the doc

Darwins Nightmare It's about what happens to people when businesses come in and rape an entire society for their resources.

http://www.darwinsnightmare.com/darwin/html/startset.htm

I'm afraid the people of Rosia Montana were already "raped" by the Communist government's wonderful policies, including the government owned and operated "old style" gold mine. Nothing Gabriel Resources could do in the wildest environmentalist nightmare would compare with the actual disastrous results of government control.

The greens have lied for years now and AL GORE and his fruadulent A INCONVEINT TRUTH is the biggist of all lies gore oscar should be tossed into the middle of the ocean and those fruadelnt judges should all lose their jobs pernamently

That little clip is interesting - because we all know that mining companies want nothing more than to help the poort people.

Look at whats happening in Nigeria - 99% of the wealth produced leaves the country.

Look at what happening in Central and South America - where CANADIAN companies are bribing corrupt governments, and hiring private armies to displace indigenous populations who want nothing to do with mining, but are ignored or shot.

This type of video is horrible propaganda. I don't agree with alot of things GP does, but I do know that Canadian Mining interests have one goal in mind - increasing profits. And if you have to displace a few thousand people, then who cares right?
