[02:57.07] We are young, confident, affluent, and with no memory of tougher times
[03:01.40] We've grown up in an era of never ending financial growth
[03:04.49] And expected things to stay that way
[03:07.27] We've grown up in owner-occupied homes
[03:09.17] With total acceptance of technology, global warming and terrorism
[03:13.10] Our whole society has been based on consumerism for the past fifteen years
[03:17.49] Making us dream consumers, yet we don't know the difference between a credit card
[03:21.10] And a debit card, and we have no idea how much a pint of milk costs
[03:28.98] On average we have eight hundred illegally downloaded songs, and one in eight of us
[03:33.25] Spends more than one hundred pounds a month on our mobile phone bill
[03:36.10] We've never read a newspaper, and we've never used our chance to vote
[03:44.86] We allow our governments to make decisions without giving us all the facts
[03:48.38] They send troops abroad who will die
[03:50.04] In order that we can steal resources from the people who have them
[03:53.16] People who meant us little or no harm until we invaded their country
[03:56.92] We allow those troops to commit horrendous atrocities
[03:59.34] And yet our leaders hang our alleged enemies for much less
[04:02.99] We've spent years entrusting our futures to our parents, our governments
[04:06.84] And we've let them make selfish decisions
[04:12.87] That have left our society teetering on the edge of ruin
[04:17.53] We're blinded from the information that would really shock us
[04:21.23] By stories of sex and sleaze which doesn't make the smallest difference to our lives
[04:24.09] And so we have no desire to do anything about the things that really do
[04:27.05] We've watched as greed wipes billions of the world's stock markets
[04:31.22] Destroys jobs and lives
[04:33.01] And proves that capitalism is just as corruptible by human nature as communism
[04:38.59] These are tough times but we seek solace in our friends and co-conspirators
[04:43.10] We make small differences in each other's lives, and dream that we can make real progress
