"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it."

It aint government that is in the way, it's greedy fat cats who control out supply of oil. 25 billion dollars in one quarter in profits!
And, Senator Stevens from Alaska in charge of the Senate panel who were trying to get the truth out of the oil magnates decreeing that each Senator only had 5 minutes to question the pigs!

I say vote AGAINST all incumbents! The republicans are ruining the country and the democrats are watching them do it, afraid to speak out for fear of being labeled anti American.

I don't know if he's a phoney but I have always felt that he is a "fake" and that the films are really about him and not the causes he claims to champion. Guess he's just anothet stupid white man.

'Guess he's just anothet stupid white man.'

That about sums him up Guest!

I can appreciate Moore investing ... but attacking a company such Haliburton, the flagship of Dr. Evil (Cheney) himself and then taking advantage of the profits of it, that I find is unacceptable and blatantly hypocritcal.

I respect Michael Moore for one thing above others: when the whole country was swarming with the buglike echoes of the Bush Gangsta Line on WMDs and everyone was slapping "patriotism" stickers on their foreheads, Michael Moore stood up and pointed out succinctly that not only did the emperor have no clothes, he also had no conscience and no integrity.

He broke a logjam of unexpressed worry that was widespread but suppressed among thousands of thinking citizens who saw the contradictions but could not find a focal point to communicate what they saw.

At that time, in that context, he was a moral voice in a jungle of opportunistic compromises and immoral war-mongering.

He deserves a vote of thanks for that.

If he has a non-profit foundation that has invested in Hallburton, it is perfectly possible that he is not making those decisions himself. NFP organizations often have their own boards and their investments are often made by even more removed decisionmakers in the invenstment communioty. Has anyone bothered to isolate the facts around this slander? Or are we just beating drums and dancing around the campfire here?

I agree Amos, and I thought highly of Moore on his efforts ... but I now question Moore's integrety. I have not heard any defense from Moore yet, but I am waiting.

Investing in Haliburton (for profit) is as immoral as one can get. Don't forget where those profits are coming from. Sorry.

His non-profit organization is listed as his home ... he is close enough, and the ones who are investing for that organization are close enough to understand what is going on.   

I don't beleive one can use which wing you are, as an excuse for immoral hypocracy.

Beardedbruce .... I like that 'Casablanca gambling' Post ... Moore will probably use that "I was misinformed" excuse, it has worked well with Bush and his cronies so far.

Stupid, Amos

A terrible comeback. Lame, even. But I love when you come out of your intellectual put-on to show how really low class you are.
