"Inconvenient Truth": My contribution.
If "An Inconvenient Truth" wins its well-deserved Oscar tonight, there's going to be a huge jump in demand for the movie among library patrons. I know when I was waiting for it, a few months back, I started out as number 500- or 400-something on the waiting list. (I eventually saw it at someone else's house, and then bought my own copy from Amazon.) By the time I took myself off the list, I was still at #200-something.

So, if the movie wins tonight, I've decided to donate my copy to the library. It might reach more people that way than if I were to just circulate it among my friends. I can always buy another copy at some point in the future.

That's the kind of "little" thing that everyone in this country should be trying to figure out and do about ALL of OUR issues.

Thanks! :hi:

2. Give it to the library whether it wins or not...
I have already donated five to various schools and libraries, and they were all welcomed. Good for you. This is what we should see happening in response to this important film.

3. Well, I'm trying to "bargain with the Universe." ;)
As in, "Let it win, and I'll put in my contribution too." Let's see if it works! :)
