back before mainstream television and radio. people used to talk. they werent afraid to voice their opinions and whether a person agreed with anothers opinion or not, every opinion was respected. we have become a world where we are afraid to express ourselves for fear of being ridiculed, not accepted, away from the norm, etc.

one of the main principles that built the united states was the idea to question things that a person didnt agree with or things that just felt wrong. our forefathers fought wars to keep this idea alive. they may have not been right or wrong for their actions, but they believed in fighting for what was important to them.

today. the united states is a society of robots, complacents, etc... people that want the easy life, dont want to worry about whats really going on in the world, just be lulled to sleep by what the govt and the media tells them... "everything is ok", says the govt and the media.. they say that ignorance is bliss and we are a very blissful society..

a person like hal comes along that has achieved a higher level of self awareness and self love then most of you will ever feel or even understand. and what are the feelings and comments? hippy, fag, etc...

i am not criticizing those feelings becuase thats the same way most of the world feels.. but, if only the world had more people like hal that look at things from their window and are brave or comfortable enough to voice their feelings and opinions.

believe me, the world would be a better place....

there are so many changes happening in the world today.. as human beings fighting for our own existence each and everyday, wherther we realize it or not, we owe it to ourselves and to our future generations to protect the idea of free thought and expression... and to embrace others views and become more tolerant to opinions, cultures, and ideas that differ from our own..
