James Lee Web History
Apparently, James Lee is a convinced, radical secularist who believes that in order for the planet to evolve, humans have to be removed. Hitler, also a radical secularist, believed that the Jews were the problem and Stalin, another radical secularist believed that capitalism was the impediment (he also hated the Jewish people and killed millions himself in pogroms).
James Lee’s YouTube footage of his protest is erased, but the video were posted by http://benevolentfilms.com/ which, although no direct to Lee is apparent, has a similar idea for “change” through video and TV shows.

In his February 2008 protest, James Lee posted, in part,
—–We are running out of time to save this planet and the Discovery Channel is a big part of the problem, not the solution. Instead of showing successful solutions, their broadcast programs seem to be doing the opposite. Shows like “Cash Cab” and “Dirty Jobs” serve as diversions to keep the focus off what is really important, which is Global Warming and Animal Extinction. Why do they broadcast a show like “Future Weapons” that only promise to destroy the planet even more? And their new lineup “Planet Green” is all about more products and other substandard solutions. Do we really need shows like these when the planet is in crisis? No, instead the focus should be on coming up with new formulas that actually work. Why would the broadcasters and programmers focus more on the destruction of the planet rather than saving it?—–

SAVE THE PLANET PROTEST ESSAY CONTEST!
I’m awarding about $200,000 worth of commercial real estate property in Hawaii plus $10,000 in cash for the best TV show idea to save the planet. 2nd place winner $5,000 and Third place winner $1,500! This is the Save the Planet Essay Contest that was stopped with my arrest before I could find a winner in front of the Discovery Channel protest in Silver Spring Maryland.
I am still looking for an essay or a package presentation about a TV show that could be developed based on Daniel Quinn’s book, “My Ishmael” where it talks about how people can build on each other’s ideas in order to save the planet. I’d really recommend persons submitting ideas to read this book to get a better understanding about the author’s core idea to save the planet. All the clues you need for saving the planet is in that book. It just needs a little alteration in order to turn it into a show. But if you think you can work the idea without reading that book, that’s ok too. I just find reading that book will give you an advantage over those who have never read that book.
Basically, the way Quinn says people can save the world is by building on each other’s ideas. For example, in the history of humans, a person might invent a wheel. Then another person might take the idea of the wheel and add an axle to it. Then another person might add a cart to it. Then, a few thousand years later, so many people have built on those ideas, we get the modern automobile which in reality is the end product of thousands of inventive people all helping each other to improve on each other’s ideas and make it better. The same is true of most of inventions we have today all being a culmination of ideas. But the goal here is to find ways to save the planet using the same creativity instead of making more junk we don’t need.
OK, here goes: The title of your TV show should be very catchy. Sometimes the title makes all the difference, so a good deal of thought should go into the creation of the title. Think of titles like “American Idol,” “The Apprentice”, and other shows that are obviously good and memorable because of their catchy, well-thought out, titles. Then think of the titles that are obviously bad and try to avoid making your show title sound like those.
