With all due respect Ego, that was a lame response. As lame as 100 years ago saying "Books do not make you smart, correct or validated."

But doesn't virtually every school on the planet emphasize the importance of reading, as a means of becoming more informed?

There are good books and bad books. Same with YouTube videos. Yes there is alot of garbage on the internet, just like for eons there have been garbage books. Youtube, and the internet in general, are a true global people's revolution of information and the exchange of ideas and world views.

Honestly, your dismissive response reminds me of the way "9/11 Conspiracy Debunkers" over at the Screw Loose Change blog like to simply dismiss YouTube as a legit medium as a way of handwaving away the very legit information contained in those youtube videos.

Address the content of what is in the video. (And for the record, "Endgame" is my least favorite AJ film because it focuses purely on what HE thinks the world is GOING to become. I think he reached his peak with "Terrorstorm," which deals purely with HISTORICAL FACT; if that had been the only film he ever made, one could certainly not dismiss him as a paranoid quack.)
