In honor of Russ Feingold's censure motion today...
This animation was originally created to honor Italy's 60th anniversary of liberation from Mussolini's fascist government. It moved me, and I hope it'll move you, too. Enjoy!

3. I think an MLK quote would be appropriate...
Something along the lines of "I have seen the Promised Land."

But yeah, I gotcha. The sentiment is there even if the English is a little awkward.

that is a very intriguing piece of media, thanks, derby. It looks like the author was influenced by Plato.

5. You're too kind - thanks
I did get a sort of Platonic feel from the animation, too. You're thinking of The Cave, right?
