KOYAANISQATSI (Life out of Balance) movie review: by Greg Vanderlaan - Save the Redwoods - Jail Hurwitz, Pacific Lumber Hostile Takeover - MAXXAM SUXX
This film, made in the 1980's deserves watching again due to it's insight into ecology and "time capsule" footage.. It features stunning video images and the music of minimalist composer Phillip Glass. You just don't see movies like this anymore. Another layer of emotional meaning is felt when we see film of American factory workers making television sets... They did that in the PAST but not in 2005. There is historical archive footage of dynamiting abandoned housing projects in the New York area... I can't watch the buildings collapsing without remembering 9/11/2001. There is NO DIALOG OR PLOT but the film causes the viewer to slip into a meditative trance and frees the mind to "GROK" concepts. I was fortunate to see this at the Uptown Theater in Washington DC when it was new. When I left the theater, the whole world had changed... I saw it through new eyes. I can see the influence of this film on POP culture. For example: Pink Floyd's Video "Us and Them" uses scenes of office workers in super slow motion.

Texas corporate raider Charles Hurwitz, with the help of junk-bond broker and convicted felon Michael Milken, looted and crashed a Savings and Loan, United Savings Association of Texas (USAT), costing U.S. taxpayers a staggering $1.6 billion! With looted money funneled from the S & L, Hurwitz engaged in a hostile takeover of the Pacific Lumber Company, commenced rabid clearcutting, and tripled the rate of logging of the world's largest stands of privately held ancient redwood forests, including Headwaters Forest, a precious, sacred and irreplaceable international treasure of the ages. http://www.jailhurwitz.com/

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.
I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -
During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
