Q of D and The 11th Hour

"Things are thieves of time because the more things you have, the more time you have to spend working"
      -Nathan Gardels, Editor of New Perspectives Quarterly
      Quoted in the documentary film "The 11th Hour"

I recommend the film to be viewed as an educational piece, in addition to the opportunity it presents to adjust our society's lifestyle mindset.  The quote is marked at the 1hr 18minute point of film.
Here's a trailer...
Frugality does not mean poverty...it means a wise use of resources.  The myth is that nature is a resource considered to be endlessly abundant.  Now, the film could be seen as "dramatic" or "condemning", choose your words, but regardless there is perspective that needs to be heard, and we have the ability to listen.  Thank God for the gifts of voice and hearing, now let us do with it good intention.  Let's treat life with great humility and respect.
