Dear Pauljs75. Ii just intended to kid with your (not very appropriate IMO) Wings-Economy comparision, ok?! I dont share any optimist vision about what is going on about north american capitalism crisis, but i think Wings depelopment trajetory keeps consistent, strong and great. I hope the 12.000.000 unmeployed american citizens can understand the real reasons of the USA economy collapse, beyond just believe in good future times and forget the comitted mistakes of your past leaders. My main concern is that a kind of ultra-nationalism and self protectionism is being generated at their minds, as fruit of pure fear (first fear of "terrorism" and now fear of unemplyement etc) and absence of critical sense. Maybe mr Obama can stop the old eagles that made all this damage at your country. Maybe he cant... <<It's probably just quiet because there's more cleanup work going on this time around, rather than really exciting brand new features.>> Circularise, Tweak abrangence and its ability to manage selections, Inset/Contour, etc all that stuff is being so exciting, no?! <<Trust in the force Luke Skywalker, etc.>> Probably no (i dont like star wars metaphores) but good luck to all you north americans! You will certainly need more than holywood fantasies to survive after Bush era.

Sometimes we are shaped by our environment and molded by the circumstances of our environment.... Some would argue Sir Winston Churchill would not have been remembered as a great Prime Minister if he had been elected outside of WWII.... So do we fault the President or the events which resulted in his decisions?

I changed my ideas about Bush after Michael Moore Fahrenheit 9/11 film... ........................................... <<But we elected a HOLLYWOOD FANTASY to make it all better ???>> I ever said Obama is a "hollywood fantasy": but a great part of american people are really divested and unable to criticize the system. I just said all this crisis was generated during Bush years. <<Grrr ... >> Dont hate me, man: hate this or even this Or even the AIG Executive bonus.

Like film maker Alex Jones he does have an agenda. Moore is known for using creative editing. Look what he did to Charlton Heston through his editing in Bowling for Columbine... http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html... There are rumours on the internet Obama recieved a bonus from AIG.... http://www.examiner.com/x-268-Right-Side-Politics-Examiner~y2009m3d17-Obama-Received-a-101332-Bonus-from-AIG ....again it's a rumour... but so is some of the stuff Moore and Alex Jones report as fact...

Really Moore is very provocative, but it is cool to read some critics about him. It seems he is planing a film about finantial industry backstage. Nice you mentioned Alex Jones: i dont know him but i could got some references googling it at internet. Thanks for the tip. It is very important to get this kind of information from another one, since these data is filtered by the press. Two questions: 1) Who are the great usa documentarists that talk about the american way of life and your social-political-economical system? (you've already noted that i am looking for good american movies outside Hollywood enviroment). 2) Who are the more significative critics that approach the american politics (and economy)? I am asking because the common sense at south america just point to one direction ("hate usa, because they are the great historical responsables by all wrong things at america") and i think this is an great obstacle to understande your reality, your challenges, etc. Thank you for your attention.

I'm not a big fan of the war ... but I'm also not a big fan of :turning the other cheek." I'm a supporter of the "War On Terror" at the conceptual level having witnessed all the MiddleEast turmoil since early 1970's when I learned to read (about 1970 is when I started reading newspapers at my dads urgings). I can tell you there was a lot of %%!@ going on back then as well. Like a lot of others ... I don't always agree with the details of how "justice" is served. Sometimes our US reactions are a bit over-the-top. Let's see if the Hollywood darling boy can get us out of some mess. I doubt it. But would be nice if he can make it calmer. People get all worked up about stats that really are not changing so much. Conservatives and Liberals both spin.

(05/08/09 11:02:58) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I rather would choose not to speak about all those things here but there is something irritating me in some degree of generating a nausea, almost, when coming to movies as those of Moore... I do appreciate much having a world view filtered by a hard self criticizing attitude... I believe, beside, that such an attitude cultivates a deep awareness of what is going on around... No doubt about all these but, man, let be honest: Moore doing all this so self boasting rigid critic should underline, without neglect, that he has the opportunity to do such movies because he lives in a free society (as much as free may be a human and not an angel society)... Living in some other environments you could not do even the tenth percent of such a critic... This is a point that should be kept in mind, in a most pious way I think...

If only the people pushing the buttons affecting the economy (and not just the gov't) could be as good as the Wings3D developers, we should start seeing some new jobs open up soon. There's still time, it's not like civilization collapsed yet. As for U.S. politics, a lot of the party politics stuff just seems like more same 'ol-same ol, more or less two sides of the same coin. Would be nice if there was a good third choice to come along. A choice that would better support the Constitution and soverignty in the scheme of things instead of waylaying the Bill of Rights and all for safety or the corporate interests after the allmighty dollar. A lot of criticism of the gov't right now is from a lack of it putting enough effort into taking care of our own affairs. Maybe Obama will straighten that up, maybe not. Some people blame Clinton, Bush, or Reagan for things, failing to realize that some of the pitfalls were being dug as far back as Nixon. Fixing the U.S. economy requires some good looking inward and plugging loopholes. Not that it should go completly to the way of isolationism, but why make loans around the world that don't necessarily pay off, or not tax some things other countries seem to have no problems with (especially when it involves money/jobs going out of the country.) Sometimes I think this type of economic dealing overly favoring world-trade is on the foolish side, if you look at how the rest of the world does things. But everything has it's periods of waxing and waning or feast and famine. Cycles are a part of nature, and every now and then they hit the manmade constructs too. It was that things were really slow (for a few months it seemed like nothing was going on) when I brought up the comparison. Oh well, enough of that. I'm sure everyone knows about the old adage about religion, (the economy), and politics. Those are things that are better not to discuss sometimes.

We've occasionally had enough excitement here on matters relating (or more directly connected) to wgs and 3D - let alone the stuff above. Plenty of other places on the net to vent one's spleen on such matters, methinks pp
