You're asked to create a Time Capsule: What would you put in it
The requirements are as followed:

One Album
One Book
One Movie
One Quote about Life during our generation
One Misc Item that sums up how you feel about our times today

This is a Time Capsule that would be opened 100 years from now - what message do you want to share with future generations?

4. I would put...
Album: Nirvana's Nevermind

Book: The Bush - Haters Handbook: A Guide to the Most Appalling Presidency of the Past 100 Years by Jack Huberman.

Movie: Bowling for Columbine or Farenheit 911 (preferably both)

Quote: "Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some
poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that
he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece.
Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is
understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who
determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Hermann Goering

One misc item: upside down flag

5. Here's my list:
One Album: Led Zeppelin II
One Book: Thomas Paine's Civil Disobedience: We can make a difference in the world without ever resulting in war
One Movie: I'd want to pick one of Michael Moore's movies but I think "The Fog of War" is so much more fitting because hopefully our future generations will learn something from what Robert S. McNamara has to say
One Quote about Life during our generation: See my Abbie Hoffman Quote in my sig line
One Misc Item: A bottle of Herradura Tequila Anejo - so they can enjoy a fine beverage while looking at what is in the time capsule
