    *Begins video: "Hello. I am Morgan Freeman."
    Oh, Morgan. There is no need to specify who you are. I know. Morgan Freeman.
    Morgan Freeman.

    "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
    Never doubt that any amount of people can change the world. And the world is changed most through words. Words have the power of life and death.
    Great video. Very thoughtful and to the point, and Freeman is the perfect man to present it.

    I love this video as it depicts in a concise way what "words" (or the freedom from such words) can have on people. You are as the poem Invictus states, the captain of your soul.

    Thank you for a well-delivered message. The concepts were presented in an understandable way with appropriate illustration without gruesome, sensational pictures drowning out the message conveyed.
    Words are best and most effectively used when well-thought-out beforehand. A well-written message that is well-styled and proofread is given much more credence than abbreviations, symbols, or flames.

    This is a good video with a good message. Amnesty International is really integral in supporting human rights around the world. It's important for these videos to get noticed in order to wake the rest of the world to the atrocities being committed in places like Iran (for current affairs).

    Morgan Freeman can tell you the life story of a rock, and you WILL listen from start to finish and ENJOY it. And then when he is finished, you will applaud and ask him to tell you the life story of another rock and you will enjoy that as well.

    I love free speech with all of my heart and think it is a great balance in the world we live in. This being said we cannot force free speech on other peoples and cultures. This is not because they would not be better off having free speech, but the fact it is not our duty to tell people would the should or should not have.

    Sometimes words aren't enough, and action is required. You can always just say stop to someone that's breaking a law, sometimes it requires immediate action that swiftly puts an end to the law breaking.

    The only way, the ONLY WAY!! this world will ever see real peace and love and no violence and no crime etc. Is if some one has the power of mind control and uses it on all humanity and shape us into what they want us to be. There fore peace will never come because man has free will. And as long as we have that, no one will ever be able to control us or really bring us down. You feel me!!

    When the world ends, the healing can begin.
    Truth, justice, good and worth, all subjective. In a war both sides think the other is bad. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me who you see. Tell me who you descended from.
    Lots of people paid with their blood for where you are today. It is like that for every country, and every leader who have ever thirsted for conquest.
