Interviews: Ask James Cameron About The Deepsea Challenge 3D Movie

Posted by samzenpus on from the go-ahead-and-ask dept.

Starting at 5:15 am local time on March 26, 2012, James Cameron piloted the Deepsea Challenger to the east depression of the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. He spent three hours exploring the sea floor. Later analysis of the specimens Cameron collected during this and other dives in the submersible revealed many life forms, with at least 100 of them identified as new species. One shrimp-like amphipod was found to produce a compound that was already in clinical trials to treat Alzheimer’s disease. The Deepsea Challenger submersible and science platform was donated to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on March 26, 2013, the one-year anniversary of the historic dive. A new National Geographic film chronicling the project from the beginning called, Deepsea Challenge 3D, is coming out August 8th in select theaters. Here's your chance to ask James Cameron and director John Bruno about the film, the dive, and the submersible. As usual, ask as many questions as you'd like, but please, one per post.

    "During a video presentation for The National Soda Summit in June DeLauro said, “It is long past time that we pass and support policies that work to our better health instead. With that in mind I’m working on legislation right now to tax sugar-sweetened drinks, like sodas, in a way that reflects the serious damage they are doing to our health.”

    Don't you love this? This is unconstitutional socialist tyranny all wrapped up in one idiot package.

    Where does the federal government get the power to regulate any damn thing for the reasons of "health"? This is not an enumerated power even in the wildest of socialist fansaties. Anyone who says "commerce clause" gets punched in the dick.

    Oh and then look at the wonderful way they intend to direct your behaviour. Surprise, it's a fucking TAX. This is not good government, this is tryanny, straight up.

    Then, as you all know, it doesn't matter what these idiots try and do, they WILL FAIL at it, and use that as an excuse to implement more unconstitutional nanny state big government legislation. What a bunch of cocksuckers.

    This old bat should not just be thrown out of office for this idiocy, I say she should be jailed for failing to uphold her oath to we-the-people to follow and adhere to the constitution above all else.

    And as we all know she will get more kickbacks and bribes and probably more power and the people will remain ignorant and bleat like sheep, 'at least they are trying'.

    You socialists disgust me to no end.
