[Music] Hello. You don't have power. Uh yeah. How Thank you. [Music] [Music] All right. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Thanks. Yeah. The kitchen is one hole, right? I'm sorry. Yeah, the kitchen's one hole. Well, that's just not working. That is a pain in the butt. Um, so, [Music] uh, there is work being done at the archive and I'm here to kind of help babysit it all and, um, something happened to where, uh, the hard drive that I was referring to got, uh, messed up. So, very irritated. Um, anyhow, uh, I don't even know if this is going to work. Hold on. Nope. Yeah, basically a hard drive got uh messed up. So, I'm trying to fix it. And one second. I'm sorry. It happened just as the show started. because everything was running fine before that. All right, let's see if this works, doesn't it? All right. Um, enjoy. Not even that's not Here we go. The topography of the Inter Mountain Highlands region of North America is one of spectacular beauty. [Music] It is beautiful, but for the most part it is [Music] arid. The arid land is sparsely populated. One can travel for hundreds of miles and see only a solitary shepherd. An occasional industrial prospector looking for new veins of ore. A farmer irrigating his fields, fields that would be erid without this water. The sparse population is concentrated around and in the few scattered urban centers of the region. These centers require fresh water for people and industries. And so in those isolated areas where water can be made available, we find most of the cities of the region. Salt Lake City, Utah. Albuquerque, New Mexico. Phoenix, Arizona. Reno, Nevada, Pocutello, Idaho, Yakama, Washington. These and other cities of the Highland region are all situated in isolated areas where sufficient water is available. The region we are studying is just east of the Pacific coast. The inner mountain highlands region. Here are its major cities. This huge rugged region may be characterized by three geographic factors. scattered urban centers, sparse population, and arid lands. The region is embraced by mountains. The Rocky Mountains on the east, the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and coast ranges on the west. These mountains contribute to the dryness of the region. The mountains are barriers against the prevailing rain carrying winds from the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. This means that the inner mountain highlands lie in the rain shadows of their bordering mountains. The region's high altitudes are another deterrent to adequate rainfall, for air at high elevations is generally drier than air closer to sea level. With little rainfall, there is relatively little water drainage in the inner mountain highlands. In fact, within the entire region, there are only six major rivers forming two river systems. The Colombia Snake Fraser system flowing in a generally northern direction and the Colorado Gila salt system flowing in a generally southern direction. In some areas where there is only interior drainage, permanent salt lakes are the major bodies of water. The Great Salt Lake of Utah is the largest and most spectacular of these. The dryness of the region, particularly in Arizona and the neighboring states of the Southwest, has been a challenge to its people since prehistoric days of Indian settlement. Centuries ago, Indians built their pblos into the sheer walls of this mesa. Today's descendants of these early inhabitants earn their living in much the same way as did their ancestors. They use ancient sources of water and ancient farming techniques. Where the arid lands of the southwest will support some natural vegetation, livestock is raised by ranchers. Cattle are more successfully grazed in the less arid northern uplands of the region. Some of the largest ranches on the continent are located in the inter mountain highlands. It has always been a problem producing sufficient food for even a sparse population on lands that are arid and topographically unsuited for extensive farming. A partial solution is irrigation. Water from the region's few rivers is channeled, often over long distances, to areas where soil and topography are favorable to farming. For example, lush fields of sugar beets and potatoes, as well as fields of wheat and alalfa are part of a productive irrigated oasis surrounding Salt Lake City, Utah. This is one of the region's oldest cities. Like the other scattered urban centers, it grew to service the people and process the crops of its irrigated farming oasis. The people of Phoenix, Arizona in the Salt River Valley Oasis process the products of neighboring rural communities. One of these products is cotton. Normally grown in a moist climate, cotton is grown here on irrigated land. Extensive irrigation also makes possible the growing of truck crops. Orchards on irrigated lands produce citrus fruits. Farther north, apple and peach trees thrive on the irrigated lands of the Columbia River Valley Oasis. The leading urban center of this oasis is Yakama, Washington. Locally produced fruit is processed in its factories. And still farther north, in the province of British Columbia, factory workers in urban centers around Canada's Okanagan Lake handle the produce of this oasis. So within the arid and semi-arid lands of the inner mountain highlands, water that has been diverted for irrigation has helped establish agricultural oases. Within these oases, some of the region's scattered urban centers have developed. Near these cities are irrigation projects that are part of extensive public works. Among the largest is Grand Kulie Dam on the Columbia River. The dam backs up Lake Roosevelt, a 150 m long man-made reservoir. 4,000 miles of canals carry this water to the fields. Such public works have created jobs and help supply electrical power for the increasing population of the urban centers. A more traditional form of employment, mining, has been responsible for the establishment of certain other urban centers. In a region where mining for gold and silver was once done on a small scale, there are now huge mines producing large amounts of copper, zinc, and lead ores. Stretching from Bingham Canyon, Utah to Rebel Stoke, British Columbia, the region's mines yield ores once considered too poor to be mined profitably. Improved smelting and refining methods together with electric power from the region's dams have increased the yields from these ores. Metal production in the inter mountain highlands is helping to meet the growing demands of industrial consumers for metallic minerals. The mining of mineral fuels, petroleum, natural gas, and coal is limited, although enough fuels are produced to power the region's industries. For the most part, products manufactured by these industries contribute little to the economy of other regions of the continent. Industries here generally manufacture products to fill the needs of consumers within the region for items such as concrete pipe, lumber and wood products and processed foods. Industrial expansion in the region is hampered by sparse population and scattered urban centers which mean limited consumer markets and high transportation costs. So the scattered urban centers which are fewer and farther apart than in any other continental region are generally located where mining or irrigated farming is possible. The sparse permanent population of the region is concentrated in these communities. Yet the arid lands contribute in a special way to the inter mountain economy by attracting tourists, a growing source of income. Annually, thousands come from around the world to admire the spectacular arid landscapes of the region. Great tracks of land like the Grand Canyon in Arizona have been set aside as national parks. This is Bryce Canyon in Utah with its magnificent rock spires. Zion National Park, Utah is the setting for many western films whose loc often reflect the wide variety and topography of the region. White Sands National Monument in New Mexico is a desert. An artificial lake. Lake me behind Hoover Dam is the center of a great summer recreational area. In the Northwest, particularly in Canada, resorts feature winter sports. The varied recreational areas attract many people and have expanded to care for the needs of growing numbers of tourists. Dude ranches are increasingly popular in the Southwest. Other tourist attractions include numerous recreated or restored mining towns of the mid-9th century, where the spirit of the wild, adventurous boom towns of early mining days still lives. This is a modern boom town, Las Vegas, Nevada. Like Phoenix, Tucson, and Reno, it is a quiet community by day. But at night, it's a city of entertainment, a blaze with light, a vacationer city. Tourists, the temporary population of the Inter Mountain Highlands are vitally important to the region's economy. Recent economic developments like government research centers have helped increase the permanent population. These centers established in the wastelands of the region are attracting scientists and technicians who enjoy the pleasant yearround climate and open spaces. They live in newer housing developments in urban centers that were once nothing but unimproved desert lands. And this is a relatively new kind of housing development, a city designed for the retired and the elderly. Such communities are rapidly multiplying in the southwest as they prove ideal for older citizens seeking to spend their retirement years in a warm, dry climate. These then are among the most recent residents of the Inter Mountain Highlands, a vast region composed mainly of arid lands which pose many problems for large-scale development for human use. It is a region that supports a relatively sparse population. Yet human endeavor and technology have made some arid lands yield agricultural and mineral wealth. This wealth forms the economic foundations for a few widely scattered urban centers which are continuing to grow. Scattered urban centers, sparse population, arid lands. These are three major geographic characteristics of the Inter Mountain Highlands. A region of spectacular beauty and rugged topography. [Music] So, I wasn't counting on showing you that film today, but uh because my hard drive uh disconnected while I started the streaming show, show um which had a lot of the the films that I was going to show today. Uh we had a big hiccup and so uh I had that as a safety cuz that's on another internal drive. So there you go. Um anyhow, so I'm at the archive. Uh we're not here permanently. Um there's a lot of work that's going on here. In fact, you'll hear saws, etc. And at some point, somebody is going to deliver a bunch of stuff, which is one of the reasons I'm here to make sure that it gets delivered to the right place at the right um etc. So, I might have to jump off at some point. But um here's film about troubled c uh campers. Enjoy. Actually, I should say enjoy. We're going to go island. No, we're going out to the swamp. Well, he face the other way. Face the other way. That's the back. Campo has pioneered in creating a therapeutic summer environment for boys with emotional problems. It provides such children with a unique opportunity to enjoy some of the happier experiences of childhood away from many of the tensions that have contributed to their problems. Then I try to hit you. With the help of understanding counselors, these boys begin to learn new ways of dealing with their feelings. But I can't take him when he hits me. Yeah, I know. Why you did hit in the first place? Observing the spontaneous behavior of these children in the camp situation and the ways in which it is dealt with can be valuable to anyone working with children in order to help people recognize and understand emotional disturbance. The boys and staff of the camp agreed to having films made at Camp Buiko throughout one summer. This was a recording. This was and is a recording. But don't play with the equipment. Okay, boys. When the boys first arrived at camp, they were very conscious of the cameras and microphones. But before long, the filmmakers and their equipment were just another part of the camp scenery. You want to fight about it? Yeah. You want to fight? Yeah. Do you? I do. You want to fight? You don't. Often children's inability to deal with their own feelings prevents them from learning to get along with other people. Violent outbursts are only one of the more extreme signals of emotional disturbance in a child. There are many others. anxiety about bodily injury, self-destructiveness, suspiciousness, clinging to rigid behavior patterns, poor tolerance for frustration, and running away. These are among the signs of disturbance which will be seen in this film. Of course, all children experience such feelings to some degree. It is only when these feelings are greatly exaggerated that children are considered emotionally disturbed. Hang on tight. For all children, summer is a time of discovery, a time for exploring the world outside as well as the inner world of thoughts and feelings. It's a time for making new friends, for trying new things, and testing new muscles. Man, bob wire. Bob wire right there. A physical injury, even a minor one, can be extremely upsetting to some children. Been punctured too. Here, David is behaving appropriately. I don't want to go. But Billy's anxiety leaves him uncooperative, unable to go to the infirmary voluntarily. I'm not going. What are you going to do? Limp around on the sofa? No, kid. I'd better go to my period and go to the [ __ ] doctor. [Music] The disturbed child is more than usually sensitive about his sense of wholeness. An accident or a bruise can threaten his fragile equilibrium. As a result, the staff of the camp infirmary usually spend as much time providing comfort and reassurance to the boys as they do dispensing bandages and aspirin. Did you just come to rest? Well, you want to take your jacket off and dry it up. The infirmary thus becomes an important place for the staff to observe individual behavior in response to injury. Is that a gash? It's honey gash. It's a little That's not butterflies. This is a butterfly, which I'll show you. Steve's got a little thing cut out. Steve expresses anxiety about his cut with constant questions and chatter. The nurse takes his concern seriously. She tries to reassure him by quietly explaining what she is doing. This is going to stick. John's fear is greater than the pain usually associated with a small scratch. And his protests seem exaggerated. You little sting. I didn't I said I cut myself. How do you know I didn't do it? You told me you did that. Pardon me. Did you? So, how do you know I didn't go like that? I don't. I don't think that Scott on the other hand seems to view his cut hand with some detachment. The cut was not an accident. I I went I went one slice and I hit it. I went like this. Can you I must have did it purposely. Huh? Can you hold this? I must have did it purposely. Huh? I don't know. Did you? Scott's need for attention exceeds his personal discomfort. His self-destructive act and now his taunting manner puzzle the camp staff who find it hard to understand him. No, I'm going to go out and get him and put him in the hospital. Well, it' be a good idea not to get that one. Why not? Well, you know, you could come back to talk to us. You're going to have to catch yourself. Yes. [Music] You going to be in that or most children worry about being accepted by other people. For Randy, however, the wish to touch and be close to one of the counselors is twisted into an attack. He is not sure whether he wants to kiss or bite. Nobody. Remember when I hold you, you're safe. I want to rub it off. Okay. I [ __ ] I believe I'm [ __ ] funny. You can carry that. It's too heavy. I ain't no your [ __ ] problem anymore. Bruce is very conscious of the way he appears to others and is very sensitive to the possibility that other people are laughing at him. Often his response is to try to run away. You're [ __ ] going to get me [ __ ] a piece. So when they come in and grab me, you [ __ ] going to laugh again. I don't want you laughing. I'm not laughing at you. No, you [ __ ] did before. Why should I not laugh at you, Bruce? Cuz [ __ ] everyone else is. I want to go on the overnight now. Well, we can't go until 3:30. What's that? We don't have food. We don't have everything packed. What time is it? You know, about 5 minutes [Music] before we have to go. You are gone. Anything new and unfamiliar, a change in the routine can be especially difficult for some boys. The inability to postpone anticipated pleasures is another sign of emotional disturbance. A nice for John. The frustration of having to wait 4 hours to go on a camping trip creates intolerable tension. Running away is a characteristic response to such [Music] tensions. Get the [ __ ] out of here. Get Get the [ __ ] out of here, goddamn [ __ ] [ __ ] you. Mom, I'm getting period. Some of the accepted social conventions, like those against swearing, can be relaxed in the camp situation. Here, Mike's swearing serves to discharge tensions and angers that gradually he will learn to express in more appropriate ways. Time up. [ __ ] you. I'm getting time to fish. Half an hour of fishing. You don't want to use the [ __ ] muppet. I was on the mark. I'm sorry. You are when I saw you. Like many children who are considered emotionally disturbed, John has difficulty expressing his feelings verbally. He is actionoriented. When he is punished for breaking waterfront rules by having to sit on the beach, he becomes extremely frustrated. As his anger and frustration build up, he finally throws himself on the ground in a tantrum. [Music] His counselor stays with John and prevents him from hurting himself. [Music] When he regains control, he will be better able to deal with the problems that led to the tantrum. Okay. Most of the boys ignore Jon's tantrum and go on with their normal activities. There are times, however, when tensions affect everyone in the camp. Visitors day is one of these, as one would expect, since unresolved difficulties with parents are common to many disturbed children. The boys are on their best behavior all day, but after the parents have left, outbursts are frequent and contagious. [Music] I found someone. That's mine. That's mine. [ __ ] you. I found it. It's mine. Well, he's saying it's his. [ __ ] Get out. Don't me. Get out. Hey, Mark. Cut it. [Music] At bedtime, fears which are manageable during the day often become magnified. Johnny's counselor has brought him to the camp office so that his fears about darkness and going to sleep can be calmed without upsetting the other boys in his cabin. You want a separate night so that things can quiet down because tomorrow when you wake up will be the same as it was today. Good activities. Excessive emotional behavior tends to elicit extreme responses in adults. Holding is only one way of soothing a panicky child. But in this case, together with the counselor's quiet, calm voice, it seems effective. I'm going to go with you. Let me know. A walk. Yeah. You see me? Sit down. Sit down. Jay. Older and larger boys call for different techniques. Jay has been deprived of a trip to town for continual stubbornness. Here, his anger and frustration as he runs after the truck appear understandable. What is not visible is the extent to which he provoked the staff to punish him. J look [ __ ] kidding. Who asked me to put you back on, wasn't it? I don't know who it was. You were right there when he asked me. I knew I was. You were sitting at the table and he asked me if you could go back on as a waiter and I said, "Yes, when I come back." I don't remember. You were sitting right at the table. Well, I don't remember. I just think of all the time, all the little things that build up. Sometimes when I get sent back, sometimes when someone kicks me and I can't kick him back and when all those builds up, I get I get really angry and I just run. You know, you say, "Yes, well, don't just run away. Go over and talk." Children such as these have one thing in common, a need to be accepted and valued. They also share an inordinate fear and reluctance to reveal their true feelings unless they are convinced again and again of this acceptance. So just go or at least you try to go. What counselors at camp are trying to do to help you become adults who don't have to fly off the handle and be able to talk about your anger rather than just get angry. Yeah, but if you're mad at someone, you don't have to walk up to him and stop talking. Well, maybe not right then, but this is something, you know, you get better and better at. You know, you say, "Okay, I feel real, real angry now, but I'm going to wait till later because I know I'll feel calmer later, and then later." The process of winning trust can be a very slow one. Often, it is not achieved until the very end of the camp season. But if the boys can succeed in establishing relationships of trust at camp, they will find it easier to continue their progress when they return to their homes and schools. [Music] [Music] Wow. Okay. So, uh I apologize if that was uh triggering. Um it's it's an amazing document. Uh I think it shows that kids have been troubled uh for for a very long time. It's not just something that we can blame on video games. Um, and this was 1971 when this film came out. And obviously there was lots of behavior there that now has been um diagnosed and uh there are better ways to treat it, but this was a stab at trying uh to help or figure out. And uh so I think they concentrated on the trauma and the the drama um and not on other aspects of this. But um yeah, so I apologize. Uh I think it's an amazing film nonetheless, but I am sorry for all the fbombs, man. I The first time I heard it, I was I ran over and I was like, "Oh no, here we go." So I apologize for that. Um anyways, it is obvious. I didn't think Tim Granger, his wife Maryanne, and their three children, Jim Jr., age nine, Roberta, 7, and little Bobby, 4 years old, got into the family car and took off on a vacation they had looked forward to for a long time, 2 weeks at the shore. Unwell never returned to this house. [Music] This is where The vacation trip for the Grangers ended. No more than 2 hours distance from their home. Both parents and the little girl were killed. The two little boys were left off. Reason for the accident, the Granger car was overloaded and traveling at a high rate of speed and couldn't negotiate a curve in the road. What makes this even more of a tragedy is the fact that it could have been avoided. Warner Dew, Secretary of Revenue for Pennsylvania. One of his major responsibilities is to see that both drivers and cars are qualified and safe to travel Pennsylvania highways. What you're about to see is not a commercial, and parts of it are not very pleasant either. But accidents that kill or maim people aren't very pleasant. And we think the reason behind this film is very important. It may help to save your life. God, I never thought this could ever happen to me. Mrs. Murray was a good driver, and she had never taken a chance until 2 days ago. Her appointment at the hairdressers lasted longer than she thought it would, and she was afraid of being [Music] late. At least Mrs. Murray is going to live in a wheelchair. It's very easy to get killed driving a car. The best way, according to all experts, is to drink and speed. The second best way is to speed when weather or road conditions are [Music] unsafe. The third best way is to just [Music] speed. Speeding will get you there a few minutes faster than someone who doesn't speed. In fact, under perfect conditions, if you traveled 50 mi distance at 65 mph while somebody else went 55, you'd arrive at your destination 5 minutes sooner or not at [Music] all. Of course, thousands of people have an accident like this each year and don't get killed. Instead, they lose a limb or their eyesight or become paralyzed or brain damage is so great they can't ever function normally again. All because someone wanted to get someplace 5 minutes earlier. [Music] The other night about 12, we got a call from the state police to bring the record a mile post 272. It's about 6 milesi from here. When we got there, there was a mother and three kids in this. The most appalling fact about automobile accidents is this. Almost without exception, most of them could have been avoided. All it calls for is more careful driving by the person behind the wheel. Now, chances are you know three or four persons who have been involved in car accidents. Well, I'm Ray Schaefer, Governor of Pennsylvania, and Warner Dew and I hear about thousands each year. Those who live to tell us about these accidents all say practically the same thing. I didn't think it would ever happen to me. The sad truth is it can happen to you. It just doesn't have to possible. We design roads and traffic systems to carry millions of motorists each year. But what no governor can do or no law can do is design the mental attitude each driver should have. Cars are wonderful machines, but they can also be dangerous weapons. And every driver, no matter how good he thinks he is, should be constantly alert to avoid situations that can get him and other people into trouble. Defensive driving is one of the answers. We think that if you drive scared, scared to death that something will happen to you, chances are nothing will. Nobody likes being told what to do. But the rules of the road, traffic regulations, speed limits, even that state trooper just waiting for you to race by, they only exist for your benefit. Death at the wheel is terrible enough. But sometimes even more terrible is the agony and the suffering the maimed and the crippled have to endure for the rest of their lives. And how about the loss of earning power? How about the effect upon your family? the weight upon your conscience. It may only be a slogan, but please drive as if your life dependent upon it. Don't think accidents can't happen to you. They can if you let them [Music] More people die in traffic accidents than in wars. No one is immune. Anyone's life or health or happiness can be taken away at any time. Government officials are deeply concerned as they should be. Ironically, this problem is easy to cure by following simple rules. Before making any turn, put on your turn signals. Then count five. Then when you're sure you're in the clear, turn. But just because you use your signal lights and are passing legally doesn't mean it's always safe. Just because the road ahead looks empty, that doesn't mean some child isn't going to suddenly dash across it. Or a car unexpectedly back into it. or that another car or truck won't appear around a curb or at an intersection. You can be killed or hurt just as well in the country as you can on a turnpike or city street. If you're not killed, one of the added dangers of a rural accident is that it often takes longer for help to get to you. You can be sober and alert and driving within the speed limit. But if you insist upon tailgating, if you like driving close to other cars, statistics show you'll have a serious accident. As for the car in front, pulling over is the only sensible thing to do. Seat belts won't prevent an accident because they don't do the driving. But if you wear a seat belt and you are in an accident, you have a 50% better chance of not being hurled through the windshield. or being thrown out of the car when the door opens because of the force of a crash. These people could have lived if they'd use their safety belts. Yet thousands like them make the same mistake each day. [Music] One of the best things drivers can do is keep their windows and windshields clean and their car in good mechanical condition. It will run better, be safer to [Music] drive. But all the car care in the world won't help if you're so overly confident that you go through a red light. [Music] Some people forget what they're doing at the happiest moments on special occasions, holidays, and celebrations. They allow their minds to wander and fail to stay alert. A good way to lose control. [Music] When your day is done, that's when the day really begins for ambulances and wreckers and the highway patrol. When you're on your way home from work and you're anxious to get there, you've put in a hard day, the boss has been on your neck, or you're late and you want to get home in time to eat and to change, perhaps to make the game, and the anger and frustration and impatience boils up inside you. You're tired and tense. It's sometime between 4:30 and 6:30 in the evening, and you don't care. Besides, you're a good driver. Another way to put policemen and ambulance drivers to work is to stop and have a few drinks before driving home. Most people who drink would be offended if you call them murderers. Drinking is the biggest highway killer. It is also the biggest crippler and keeps emergency hospital crews busy every night stitching up faces and setting broken limbs. [Music] The owner of this car also thought he was a good driver. Such a good driver that he could drive well even after drinking. his first accident in 20 years and he didn't think it would ever happen to him. But you don't even have to drink. Maybe you're driving home and it's getting late. You've been driving without a stop because you're anxious to get home. You're only about an hour away and you're just a little tired. [Music] There's massive internal bleeding, multiple fractures, both legs, severe lacerations face and scalp. He doesn't know what happened. Said he doesn't think he fell asleep. I don't know what we're going to do. We don't even have enough insurance to pay the hospital. I don't understand. He promised me that if he ever felt tired, he'd stop and rest. I don't know what happens to people when they get behind the wheel of a car. You see them cutting in and out of lanes as if they were the only ones on the road or not giving the right away when they're supposed to. But they think nothing of zooming along at 70 or 80 with a car full of people. To me, it's more than recklessness or discourtesy. It's stupidity. The worst part of the job, pulling out the little kids. There are more drivers under the age of 20 involved in automobile accidents than any other age group. There are many reasons why teenagers cause most of our accidents. Drinking, speeding, recklessness. [Music] But even if you are not doing any of these, you can be killed by not keeping your eyes and your mind on the road. [Music] [Music] One of the safety cliches which happens to be true is that most accidents happen within 25 mi of the driver's home at the intersection you know best. Nothing can ever happen to them here. Well, they didn't think it would happen to them here. You don't even need a street for an accident. Each year, hundreds of people are killed. Thousands injured in supposedly safe areas like shopping centers. The first I knew was when I heard a scree. No area is safe and no car is safe even at 45 mph, much less at 65 mph. [Music] as an ambulance driver. I see them all. Doctors, housewives, salesmen, truck drivers. The funny part is most of them, if they're still alive when we get there, say this is their first accident. [Music] [Applause] According to statistics, the only people who don't get into trouble on public highways are the professional racing drivers to whom speed and danger is a way of life. [Music] The only reason we don't get into trouble on a highway is that we're scared to death of the other drivers. At least we know what we're doing here. What they do out there is unbelievable. Mr. Baker. Yes. I understand you're moving. That's right. Why? I was in an accident. I I didn't have enough insurance to pay off what I needed. The man I hit got a judgment against me in court. The house will pay for part of it. Part of it? Yeah. For the next few years, he gets part of my paycheck each week as well. This is a special home run by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for children who cannot be cared for in their own homes. There are birth deformities here, chronically diseased children and some mentally [ __ ] But there are other children here who were not deformed at birth, who had no chronic disabling disease, who are not mentally [ __ ] but who will spend the rest of their lives in this home. These children are here because there are some drivers who didn't think they'd ever hit a child or involve one in an auto accident. [Music] Jimmy is one of the lucky ones. He doesn't have to be confined in an institution. He has 50% use of his legs. Because his brain was damaged, his mental growth is slow. He's a 9-year-old when he should be a 12y old. And all he was doing was playing in this quiet neighborhood. The car that hit Jimmy was going 60 mph in a 35 mph zone. Jimmy was crossing the road. The rules are simple and they're based on bitter experience. Don't [Music] speed. Don't disregard weather conditions. Don't drive while under the influence of alcohol. Don't ignore traffic signals. Don't tailgate or pass recklessly. Don't fail to wear a safety belt. Please don't drive while tired or angry or frustrated. Don't allow yourself to become distracted or forgetful. Don't feel overconfident because you're behind the wheel of a big new well polished car. [Music] If the rules are simple, so are the solutions. If the driver of this car had stopped and rested for just 5 minutes, he wouldn't have fallen asleep at the wheel. This man did not need to leave his friend's house until he had given himself a chance to sober up. [Music] This family could have postponed their trip until weather conditions improved. This man wouldn't have lost his job or even hurt his standing by being 10 minutes late for an appointment. It would have taken about 5 seconds for this person to fasten his safety [Music] belt. A routine mechanical checkup would have prevented this accident. This lady didn't even think weather really represented such a serious traffic [Music] hazard. This man could have stopped to think about his problems by the side of the road, not while driving. [Music] No great amount of self-discipline is required.

[Music] I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. Today was filled with trauma and drama. Um, I had intended on showing this uh at the end of the day anyways. Uh, not I just was like, you know what, we need to watch a cartoon. I didn't realize why we needed to watch a cartoon. The irony is that I gave a a Zoom lecture to a bunch of NYU students who were uh taking a class in uh curating or programming film programs. And I said, well, you know, don't don't traumatize your audiences. don't, you know, punish them uh because they won't come back. So, I did not intend to punish uh you guys and so I'm sorry for that. Um you definitely got to see something you haven't seen before potentially, but um yeah. Yikes. Holy cow. Anyhow, uh thanks for donating uh Nathan in spite of the the trauma. And thank you Jeremy as as well. Um, I did like that. That cartoon is I'm going to have to watch that again. It's so good. The uh the singing um the counterpoint of the the mouse and the flame that's chasing after her and then the chorus of flames. So good. Anyways, uh there's so many work people here that I'm coordinating with um that uh I have to get back to them because a bunch of appliances are showing up next. We will talk soon. Thank you so much for your uh watching. Hit the like, hit the thumbs up button. Even if you didn't particularly like this show, you know, give me the benefit of the doubt that know that the next show that I do is going to be so much better. So much better. Anyways, we love you guys and have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday. Take care.
