RIGHT NOW!
See one of the movies available on this list a click or two off this page:

And you will get the relationship between "change" (the stuff in your 
pocket)
and "change" (seeing a different kind of show). I'm planning to see Out 
of Ballance
tomorow @2:30 PM. Supposedly that goes further than "An Inconvienient Truth"
in the same direction.

I saw OUTSOURCED, a very funny movie about outsourcing to India
at the San Jose Film Festival Sunday evening. Please see it if you 
get a chance. You will enjoy the experience. The next showing is on
Thursday March 8th at 7 PM in the Camera 12 in downtown San Jose.
