I feel a little uncomfortable that this video is being given away free by our government. It seems a little propaganda-ish. Any comments?

It does feel a little like 'salt in the wound' to me..

..and where does the $$$'s come from while we/they can't even balance what's vital ???

yeah, I smell an ulterior motive

I just ordered one for the fun of it.:sure:

I think it's a good educational video I guess, I wouldn't say propaganda.

It just feels like propagando to me because I don't think it will document all of 9/11. Just the firefighters and police that died that day. Don't get me wrong I have very high respect for those men and women, but if my tax dollars are paying for 9/11 documentaries. I want to hear everything. The good and the bad. What went wrong to allow it to happen... and so on.

Also the Department of Labor is giving the video away???

you can bet it won't likely be a *discovery channel* or *PBS* grade production

I signed up for one as well. It might prove to have some useful stuff that I probably wouldn't be able to find otherwise. I bet it is a PBS documentary spun off as a DOL production. PBS is kinda owned by the government...isn't it? Not sure.

EDIT: I liked a lot of the Discovery channel's shows on ancient Egyptian kings and tombs and the digging up of them.

I like their space discovery shows, they do it so alsome and then you basically get a kick out of it and fear for your life becuase they claim moon is going to fly away in many years away.

:P

13 years? Oh no! What the heck am I going to school for if we're all going to be dead in 13 years?

Alright guys, the time is now to do the smart thing: drop out of college and play video games until doomsday. At least you'll be wearing headphones and you won't hear all the screaming.

K:: PBS is a non profit org. (donations only)

no gov't ties, ergo their take on news etc. is so much more believable

no axes to grind
