I get so much inspiration from this board, from Trev and Deb, Nigel, Haag, Julia, Pete, shirl, Mum, Big Ray, Dr. J., and everyone else who posts so eloquently, but also from comedy and online vids that are out there for all of us. Thought I'd share a few vids I've seen over the past few months that have become meaningful to me.

The first is from Coldplay (I know, I know! They're a lesser form of musical humanity, but I think they've got it right with this one.)

I see this as the decline of the US; the 19th century was dominated by Britain, the 20th century by the US and the 21st by China.

Viva la Vida

This is the promise of hope which, as you can imagine, is being attacked unmercifully by the right wing of my country.

We Are The Ones with will.i.am

And this wonderful video is the spirit I hope we all can share, and f*** the politics.

Stand by Me

I think some of our Oz members can't view youtube in the format I'm using. If you can't view it, let me know and I'll work with it - I was an IT person in my former life.

PS: I have a crush on that Dutch dude!
