0:08 Kit Sibert commentary by Nancy Cain. Sibert, a social worker, has this to say about personal fulfillment.

It has something to do with what's liberated inside."" 6:13 ""Mountain Biker ""by Nancy Cain. On Piuma Road in Malibu, California, Greg Hodal pedals uphill. ""I'm just trying to do as well as I can each time and go as fast I can."" 6:53 ""Fiesta de San Fermin"" by Esti Galili Marpet.

In Santa Monica, California, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz have developed a model for a community level teleconferencing center, using inexpensive videophone technology.

A clip from a video shot in 1970 with a black and white Portapack.

""When I'm with somebody and laughing, I'm having fun. But I resist having fun. I love going to the beach and body surfing but I never want to go.

In Agoura Hills, California, Jody Procter practices in a batting cage and talks about the American obsession with baseball. ""Baseball is a secular religion. Three million people a year go to see the Dodgers play at Dodger Stadium. I like the whole thing about baseball. It locks me up to a thing that goes deep in my life. It summarizes everything I feel about security."" 44:14 American children play soccer, while their parents encourage them from offscreen. 44:32 Bill Wade, an ex-NFL quarterback, comments on how soccer will overtake other sports in terms of popularity.

Becker runs in to a man tossing around a boomerang in a park in Washington, D.C. 47:54 More from Kit Silbert. Kit Silbert offers more advice about fun: ""To lie on the couch and read is relaxing, but it's not fun. It's a cerebral experience. Fun has to be sensual."" 48:34 ""The King and Di"" by Judith Binder. A woman ordered a sex toy on a lark and talks about her experience with this sex substitute. ""It's the secret to abstinence and total happiness. The only problem is that it could become addiction and the sad part is that you can't hug anybody afterwards and you can't give love."" 56:17 ""Mountain Biker"" (under credits). Our biker coasts downhill and talks to his bike, ""Well you won the race, eh big boy?"" Also with audio of Joe Cummings reading letters to The 90's.

54424 ANTI-HATE SPEECH 1945 NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF CHRISTIANS AND JEWS THE WORLD WE WANT TO LIVE IN
Made in 1945 by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, "The World We Want to Live In" is an important film that reflects upon the tumult of 1930s and 40s, which saw oppression and death in Europe, while presenting the idea that the America of the future must renounce hate, bigotry and intolerance. The film begins by showing how hate speech and anti-immigrant ideas fomented terror not only in abroad, but created an environment in the USA where racism and marginalization was tolerated. At 3:12, a KKK rally is seen in the USA, and at 3:22 the tract "The Bloody Trail of Romanism" is seen being printed. (This anti-Catholic book examined the Albigenses, Waldenses, Huguenots, as well as of the Inquisition, the Crusades and Rome’s bloody trail through the centuries.) At 3:30, a man speaks about America being for "whites" and "Anglo-saxons". At 3:47, a man says "Hitler has the right idea" and at 3:57 a man, probably Jewish, is denied a job and sees that many want ads are for "Anglo-Saxon" and Christian applicants only. This is contrasted with the ideas of the Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln.<p><p>At 4:49, a Rabbi, a Catholic priest and a Protestant minister share the microphone and state their mutual admiration for one another and the American way of life. At 6:10, children are shown being educated to embrace tolerance. At the Institute of Human Relations at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, men and women educators are seen gathering to present ideas about the moral character of "The World We Want to Live In" with an emphasis justice, liberty, citizenship and charity. The film ends with a montage of a Jewish synagogue, Christian church, Lutheran church, and images of African-American and Asian American students in a classroom with white students. <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
