Thread Name: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
Mars, yes, as I said, Moore's remarks were hyperbole. I think people know that, but his remarks express their feelings and frustration. I look forward to seeing his film.
I'm sure Moore makes some money from his films, even his first, which I believe he mortgaged his house to make, and which is a great, sad film. I think Bush makes some money being president, and 40g from his own tax cut. I'm paying a portion of his gain, it seems. And I think even soldiers fighting in the cause of liberation, they make money too. That someone makes money doing something doesn't necesarily alter it.
Moore does speak eloquently for the working class, in his work, and Bush is really the president, but he is not one of the best, conservative or liberal. I blame Gore, for wasting his campain on trying to prove what was self-evident--that he was better qualified. That was really very dumb. It's a junior lawyer's mistake, because when you try to prove what's obvious, you introduce doubt, and bore people out of their minds in the bargain.
