This reminded me that several European cities have now removed all traffic signals/signs and are returning to letting the traffic control itself.

With most excellent results.

They did a 60 Minutes Special on this film and determined that it was made just days before the Great San Francisco Earthquake. They said that many in the film may have only had days to live.

Oh, how I long for the past. Such simplicity.

Whoever found it, thanks for sharing. Makes me feel like I'm in a sane society again!!!

World's Fair, Paris in 1900 - Exposition Universelle [Rare Footage]. The note says: "A Human Zoo was present at the exposition." Some sicko idea of "art", I suppose. Otherwise, I liked this cinematic time-travel back before WWI:

Edit to add: "Thomas Edison films from the moving Boardwalk at Paris World Exposition Circa 1900."

Great vid Noone. Thanks for sharing. I had to share it with my girls. I really like the tunes rolling in the background too, sort of a Mushroom Jazz. : )

Snicker.

This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson

Never owned either.

We were so poor that when we moved in any house, the mice moved out shortly thereafter, because there was nothing for them.

We were so poor that we loved the Sears and Wards catalogs. Never bought anything, we had other usage.

Thanks - I couldn't identify the city, and I'd never have guessed SF, but I didn't watch it to the end, either.

Neat Video ((CYNICOM SPECIAL)

What, did Cynicom film this? ahaha.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.
Lord Acton

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

James...

You could be punished, you know????

Those were the days of civility, social manners AND PROPER DRESS.

People now look with disdain upon the "good olde days". Well I was raised on the tail end of those days, and I still prefer those times.

Manners cost nothing, but they have become outdated. I miss it.

Those people were so irresponsible: NO child-proofing visible at all to protect the innocent little waifs-of-the-street from a myriad of life-threatening dangers ranging from random motorists to the street trolleys and horse-drawn buggies/carts. I'm calling Gloria Allred AND Alan Dershowitz.....
