That's the main reason why I like to keep my beliefs on a personal level, so that they affect me and only me. I believe in the power...

I got my video of polar bears playing at the San Diego Zoo uploaded to YouTube but I'm not happy with the quality even though I took HD video with the Canon Rebel T2i. Obviously YouTube did some processing that cut the quality down, so I have a little work to do to figure out how to get the best...
