What really happened to the American Founding Fathers after the Revolutionary War? What does Independence Day really mean to Americans today? Episode 007 explores what it means to be a good citizen who has proven worthy of the American Founding Fathers' efforts, and it takes a look at just how far the American government has descended toward the very tyranny that the Declaration of Independence sought to free Americans from in the first place. And in the spirit of Thomas Paine, Paul bluntly explains the difference between free citizens and freeloading citizens--which includes many of our elected officials....

Friendship

Becket (film, 1964) - My favorite story about friendship -- in this case a friendship that fell apart. Or DID it...?

Reign Over Me (film, 2008) - A celebration of the power of friendship to help people overcome truly traumatic experiences in their lives.

Love

Groundhog Day (film) - A hilarious example of a ludus lover, who only learns what love really is when he finally can't have it.

When Harry Met Sally (film) - The classic film about storgic love, where genuine love develops over time, through friendship.

The Wedding Singer (film) - A fun look at Agape lovers.

Untamed Heart (film) - A sad look at Agape lovers.

The Last Emporer (film) - Contains several subplots that concerning pragmatic relationships, contrasted with the Emporer's very real friendship with his mentor.

Defending Your Life (film) - A funny and warm Albert Brooks film about the power of fear to deprive us of the most important things in life, including love.

Return To Me (film) - A great story about "getting back up on that horse", after love throws you off. The scene where David Duchovny grieves the death of his wife is brutally powerful.

Love Story (film) - The classic cinematic story of the paradox of love, which at once brings us pleasure and pain.

The Diary of Adam and Eve (Short Story) - Possibly Mark Twain's most touching story. A fanciful account of how the first man and woman learned about the differences between men and women.

Sex

You're on your own here, guys... I'll just say it's a LOT of fun, so you should give it a try it some time.

Methamphetamines (Meth)

Meth is by far the most devastating drug in America today, because it biologically transforms good people who are capable of genuine friendship and love into people who no longer capable of normal human relations. Because of this, meth causes more pain and suffering for non-users (i.e., users' friends and family) than any other drug. Learn everything you can about this drug from hell, to protect yourself and those you care about.

PBS Frontline, "The Meth Epidemic" - View the entire Frontline episode online, with a vast collection of links to meth-related resources. This episode also explains how the U.S. government could have stopped the meth epidemic in it's tracks when it first began, but was "influenced" by Big Pharma (the pharmaceutical industry) to take no action at all, instead.

KCI.ORG - Resources on meth, including a heartbreaking discussion board where you can witness for yourself how addicts' friends and families are literally tormented by their loved one's meth use.

The Oregonian Special Report on Meth - Investigative journalism the way it should be done, with an emphasis on meth-using parents, and their children.

Corporations

The Corporation (film) - A documentary film that explains why corporations fulfill the generally-accepted criteria that define a psychopath. Only when we comprehend this can we understand the devastating effect that inhumane, non-human institutions have on human relations.

HATE/Inability to Love

View some relevant quotes about the relationship between HATE and LOVE here.

Resources for Real Travelers:

On the Road by Jack Kerouac - the classic work of American travel during the Beatnik era. Not for everyone, but perfect for some.

Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck - Steinbeck's account of his travels around the United States in the early 1960's, traveling in his pickup truck with his dog Charley by his side.

Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf Potts, is by far the best modern book I've found on how to be a Traveler, rather than a tourist. You can also visit Rolf Potts' website

Iron and Silk (DVD) - A fabulous dramatization of Mark Salzman's time as an English teacher and martial arts student in early 1980's China, produced by and starring Salzman himself. A truly unique independent film that nobody should miss.

Rand McNally Goode's World Atlas 21st Edition - The best overall world atlas, in my humble opinion.

National Geographic Magazine - still doing it after all these years!

Unique Media Maps - These fun, cartoonish maps do a phenomenal job of presenting United States and World topography. These simple maps won't tell you how to get anywhere, but you'll learn a lot by poring over their detail. I just love these maps!
