Quite an impressive documentary featuring the words of Arundhati Roy "on such things as the war on terror, corporate globalization, justice and the growing civil unrest".

Some of the things that ring loudest for me is the way she speaks on anti-nationalism and anti-americanism and then reveals american involvement in so much more than I actually knew of or thought, but in a way that doesn't make it seem like a conspiracy theory, but merely history.

Some of the things she says is that to be anti nationalist does not necessarily mean being against a nation. In the same vein anti-americanism is not to be against many of the good things which define american culture and american ideals. From what I gather, to be anti nationalist is to be against blind following of a nation's regime and as well to be an anti-americanist is to be against the american regime being imposed not only to USA, but to the world as well.

I just came across a video that is just absolutely awesome. I am not sure how to describe it. It is a collage of images and text sending such a clear message about the nature of the web. It is very pro Free Culture. Using KeepVid.com I got a direct download link so you don't need flash to view it.

Enjoy!

If there is any reason why Blip.tv is better than YouTube then that's the fact that they offer a direct download of videos through their alternate video format drop down box.

This way you don't necessarily need flash to play a video, and you don't need any scripts (like youtube-dl) to extract the flash video file either (.flv). They offer it themselves.
