Happy Birthday Charlie Chaplin

Thanks to Google and their desire to celebrate holidays and birthdays I found out today is Charlie Chaplin's birthday.  Well know for slapstick humor amongst the silent film world, I have an appreciation for this actor thanks to Max's 8mm film movie camera and projector he received when he was 12 or 13 for his birthday.  I have seen many clips and films of Charlie Chaplin, and never heard his voice until today.  Part of the search on him brought up this youtube, which in my mind speaks volumes.  The statements he makes here still stand true today and remind me that if we choose to ignore his words we are headed down a road to destruction.  For a man known for being silent, the power in his words are amazing.
