Subject: RE: BS: Canada-US Present Relationship
The animation was excellent, but I really, really wish that someone would make some sort of filmed statement, animated or otherwise, that didn't use humor as part of its message.

It seems to me that outrage has become entertainment these days -- consider Bowling for Columbine took an Oscar, that anti-war statements take the form of entertaining cartoons, etc.

If outrage is something that we pay to go and see, and give awards to, and laugh at (or with), then what is its purpose? It almost indicates that outrage will change nothing.

Just my thoughts on this issue.
