The last scene of Camelot....

[WCGreen]

At the end of the movie when doom is certain to fall on the fabled city, King Arthur grabs a squire, a lad if you will, bear with me, I'm in the moment, and he asks him what he wants to be, what he dreams of becoming. The young boy, a child from the villages and farms that support the high idealism of Camelot, answer, why I wish to be a noble knight, god sir, a good man who will serve his country, his king and his god (notice the order) with honor and dignity.

And Richard Harris, no more prancing about like a sissy, takes out his sword and, now weary from the battle to save the kingdom that he knows he is losing, recognizes that his dream is doomed but the idealism and greatness he inspired will live on in the boy, knights him. Then, instead of sending him to do battle he sends him home to spread the word that there once was a kingdom known as Camelot, a kingdom full of honor and dignity, a kingdom where everyone counted and everyone was worthy. He implores him to run away from the doom about to befall and keeps yelling for him to run run run boy and spread the word.....

All I can think is that we are all that boy sent into the darkness after the greatness this American experiment was with but one command, to tell our children that there once was a country named the United States......

1. Keep in mind no word came out of Rome for 10 years after the fall

No communiques, no letters, nothing.

Think about that for a minute.

4. We need a miracle for sure! I am not confident that it will appear unless

perhaps Gore changes his mind or Robert Kennedy, Jr. runs in the future. They are the only two I see on the horizon who truly care about the mother earth enough to fight to save her, while having the background to win an election.

5. I know we need a miracle. I can only hope that Al Gore decides to run or that

in the near future Robert Kennedy, Jr. decides to run. They are the only two I can imagine with enough concern for our mother earth and enough political acumen to get elected.
