04:57:35 johnjosephbachir: yo
04:58:11 johnjosephbachir: i have a question
04:58:15 johnjosephbachir: are you coherent 
04:58:16 gr33n3ggs: _shoot
04:58:19 gr33n3ggs: yes, sober
04:58:28 johnjosephbachir: like
04:58:45 johnjosephbachir: well my friend and i were just talking about how there are millions of pissed off people in america
04:58:53 johnjosephbachir: but we never do anything because 
04:59:03 johnjosephbachir: well for one thing even when we protest it doesn't change a single fucking thing
04:59:10 johnjosephbachir: and also there is just a general lack of unity
04:59:21 johnjosephbachir: i think the closest we've come to any unity is howard dean
04:59:38 johnjosephbachir: what do you think will motivate people?
04:59:58 johnjosephbachir: i guess specifically, what kinds of films should i make and how should i distribute them?
05:00:03 gr33n3ggs: hmm, our society breeds apathy...
05:00:22 gr33n3ggs: there are two major realms which you can "attack" when tryin' 2 motivate ppl I think
05:00:50 gr33n3ggs: the first is to lay on the intellectual and give a subtle, or blatant, portrayal of the world around u with an intellectual undertone 
05:00:59 gr33n3ggs: i.e. that which a majority of americans wont "get"
05:01:15 gr33n3ggs: the second is to make something more along the lines of fareinheight (sp) 9/11
05:01:33 gr33n3ggs: which is a dumbed down history lesson targeting
05:01:41 gr33n3ggs: the emotional side of people
05:01:47 gr33n3ggs: with a tinge of ignorance.
05:02:03 gr33n3ggs: to truly move a majority of americans, u must use the latter
05:02:32 gr33n3ggs: but u walk a thin line between enraging the populus 
05:02:53 gr33n3ggs: and being written of as a zealot. to be taken with "grain of salt"
05:03:13 gr33n3ggs: I kno that statistics are inconsequential in 2days society
05:03:21 gr33n3ggs: concerning motivating ppl to stand for a change
05:03:25 gr33n3ggs: the individual is paramount
05:03:54 gr33n3ggs: so u should continue on with ur interviews, but include the stories of the people behind the message.
05:03:55 gr33n3ggs: dig?
