[CALIBK12] Query: Too Tough To Care

[cpcasey at sdcoe.k12.ca.us]

OMG...I read this and was reminded of the BEST film I used to show my
Geography classes.  The only copy the public library had disappeared.  I
tried to find it elsewhere, to no avail.  But, when the Internet and
Google came out (yes, I'm very old), I searched in vain for the film.  I
just tried just now and THERE IT WAS!!!  Here is the address for this
video.  You have to watch it.  It is truly wonderful.  Then see if you can
find the one you want.
