George Washington said, 'The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.' He was right in 1789, my friends.</p> <p>"So I'm not only worried about those who have served and those who are serving, but I worry about the motivation of future generations to serve. And that's why it's so vital that we give the veterans the health care they need and deserve and have earned. And, my friends - I've got some straight-talk for you (which you already know). There's gonna be a lot of wounds out of this war. There already has been.</p> <p>"There's gonna be a lot of treatment that's gonna have to be given by the veteran's administration [...]."</p> <p>LABEL: JM MA 2-4 (JR#49) HA-ClipF</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/ecqa9nz4ko">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: <a href="http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/r11uqmusc8">issuealliance.box.net</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/44379-john-mccain-speech-02-04-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43862-john-mccain-bio-tour-speech-04-03-08 2008-07-01T00:21:52Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QL_pasjcxpo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QL_pasjcxpo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43862-john-mccain-bio-tour-speech-04-03-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50200" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Bio-Tour Speech <br />Jacksonville, FL 04/03/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />JOHN MCCAIN: "Our history has had its moments of shame, and of profound regret but what he have achieved in our brief history is irrefutable proof that a nation conceived in liberty will prove stronger, more decent, more enduring than any nation ordered to exalt the few at the expense of the many or made from a common race or culture or to preserve traditions that have no greater attribute than longevity. But as blessed as we are no nation complacent in its greatness can long sustain it. We too must prove, as those who came before us proved, capable of the work history has assigned to us.

I cannot guarantee I will have achieved these things. I am presumptuous enough to think I would be a good President, but not so much that I believe I can govern by command. Should I forget that, Congress will, of course, hasten to remind me. The following are conditions I intend to achieve. And toward that end, I will focus all the powers of the office; every skill and strength I possess; and seize every opportunity to work with members of Congress who put the national interest ahead of partisanship, and any country in the world that shares our hopes for a more peaceful and prosperous world.</p> <p>"By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom. The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension. Violence still occurs, but it is spasmodic and much reduced. Civil war has been prevented; militias disbanded; the Iraqi Security Force is professional and competent; al Qaeda in Iraq has been defeated; and the Government of Iraq is capable of imposing its authority in every province of Iraq and defending the integrity of its borders. The United States maintains a military presence there, but a much smaller one, and it does not play a direct combat role.</p> <p>"The threat from a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan has been greatly reduced but not eliminated. U.S. and NATO forces remain there to help finish the job, and continue operations against the remnants of al Qaeda. The Government of Pakistan has cooperated with the U.S. in successfully adapting the counterinsurgency tactics that worked so well in Iraq and Afghanistan to its lawless tribal areas where al Qaeda fighters are based. The increase in actionable intelligence that the counterinsurgency produced led to the capture or death of Osama bin Laden, and his chief lieutenants. There is no longer any place in the world al Qaeda can consider a safe haven. Increased cooperation between the United States and its allies in the concerted use of military, diplomatic, and economic power and reforms in the intelligence capabilities of the United States has disrupted terrorist networks and exposed plots around the world. There still has not been a major terrorist attack in the United States since September 11, 2001.</p> <p>LABEL: JM OH 5-15 (JR#55) AC-ClipA</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/gepsl7fw48</p> <p>To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/hfwbbbjkow <br />AND <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/4sdc7rzkss</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43689-john-mccain-2013-speech-05-15-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41757-introducing-i-like-to-watch 2008-07-25T04:19:16Z Cityzen Jane <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/z_vKN3L7ffk&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/z_vKN3L7ffk&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41757-introducing-i-like-to-watch"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47076" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>My blog: <br />http://cityzenjane.wordpress.com/2006/04/21/i-like-to-watch/ <br />Here is an interview with me about the project: <br />http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2006/06/i_like_to_watch.html</p> <p>some great sites: <br />http://www.worldchanging.com <br />http://ted.com/tedtalks/</p> </div> <a href="/blog/41757-introducing-i-like-to-watch">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41588-roger-hickey-what-americans-are-looking-for-in-a-president 2008-06-11T12:29:59Z imishalove <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zQSvV-PV-fs&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zQSvV-PV-fs&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41588-roger-hickey-what-americans-are-looking-for-in-a-president"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/46883" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><a href="http://www.ourfuture.org">www.ourfuture.org</a> is the home of the Campaign for America's Future.

His current research areas and interests include the following:</p> <p> * Learning from experience: How do experts think about possible pasts (historical counterfactuals) and probable futures (conditional forecasts)? And how do experts respond to confirmation/disconfirmation of expectations? <br /> * Designing accountability systems: How do people cope with various types of accountability pressures and demands in their social world? When does accountability promote mindless conformity? Defensive bolstering of prior positions? Thoughtful self-critical analysis? ... <br /> * De-biasing judgment and choice. How can organization structure incentives and accountability procedures be used to check common cognitive biases such as belief perseverance and over-confidence? What adverse side effects can such de-biasing efforts have on quality of decision-making?</p> <p> <br />Professor Tetlock came to Google to talk about his book, "Expert Political Judgment: How Good Is It? How Can We Know?"</p> <p>This event took place on August 24, 2006, as a part of the Authors@Google series.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/41432-authors-google-philip-tetlock">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41202-historian-vs-futurist-on-human-progress 2008-07-01T16:38:34Z FORAtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X906yxIiB3I&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X906yxIiB3I&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41202-historian-vs-futurist-on-human-progress"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/46451" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Complete video at: <a href="http://fora.tv/2008/04/28/Niall_Ferguson_and_Peter_Schwartz_on_Human_Progress">fora.tv</a> </p> <p>Historian Niall Ferguson debates futurist author Peter Schwartz on the overall nature of human progress.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>Niall Ferguson and Peter Schwartz present Historian vs. Futurist on Human Progress as part of The Long Now Foundation's Seminars about Long-term Thinking.</p> <p>Niall Ferguson, MA, D.Phil., is the Laurence A.

Stunning imagery of cosmological wonders show us the universe as we know it now. Speaking as "a concerned member of the human race," Rees harkens to the wisdom of Einstein, calling for scientists to act as moral compasses, confronting the coming developments and ensuring our role in "the immense future."</p> </div> <a href="/blog/38393-sir-martin-rees-earth-in-its-final-century">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/37542-the-future-of-television 2008-06-16T21:30:55Z MobLogicTV <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AiOg19FL7Kc&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AiOg19FL7Kc&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/37542-the-future-of-television"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/42321" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The future will not be televised...
