Chilling-A must see

There's a very, very real probability that our grandchildren will never ride in an airplane. You'll notice I wrote "probability"-not possibility. Yes, that goes for cars, trucks, buses, and virtually anything else that runs on gasoline. This documentary should be required viewing for every American. I was never so profoundly disturbed by a film. Chilling and informative, you'll never look at the world in the same way again. Everyone on the planet will be involved-there's no avoiding it-and no one's talking about a subject that will change the very fabric of our existence. Get ready for an eye opening experience like you've never had. And pay attention, because they're talking about you and me. Highest Recommendations.
