Preserve this wonderful and beautiful way of life. Theres uh, rural America, suburban America, exurban America, urban America are all [inaudible]. And we all enjoy both. People from urban America love to come here. Its a great way to vacation, its a great way to relax, its a great way to spend time. Some of them have homes here. People from here love to occasionally go to the cities and enjoy plays and operas and were all part of the same country. Im not a person who likes to setup like these distinctions between people. I think people are really much more the same than they are different. And I think, as far as preserving the environment and preserving rural America, of course we should do that. This is a great gift we have. And its a way many many people enjoy spending their entire lives or spending part of their lives. And, uh, it should be preserved. But we should also see the connections between each other, which are much greater, I think, than people realize</p> <p>LABEL: RG NH 12-30 (JC#48) ACHIR ClipB</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/6g18u3yx9q#RG_NH_12-30_(JC#48)_ACHIR_-_Cl <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/x3dnj3qg7h#RG_NH_12-30_(JC#48)_ACHIR_comp</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62216-rudy-giuliani-town-hall-12-30-07">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62048-clipe-dos-gregor-de-freitas 2008-11-22T14:56:28Z Eye4U <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qaiYuiH0NS8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qaiYuiH0NS8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62048-clipe-dos-gregor-de-freitas"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/77218" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Clips da vida rural da familia brasileira de Freitas e austríacos Gregor no Brasil em Gurupi_Tocantins desde 2002</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62048-clipe-dos-gregor-de-freitas">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/61966-crisis-looms-in-drought-stricken-niger-nov-8-08 2008-11-13T02:55:05Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FT4rFyVdbio&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FT4rFyVdbio&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/61966-crisis-looms-in-drought-stricken-niger-nov-8-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/76991" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>In Niger, there are too many mouths to feed, and not enough productive land.
