Doesn't make me crazy Joe as long as you don't include me in your 1000 &
1 questions game, but I'm glad it seems I satisfied your question at
least. I try & see the good in what Moore does as far as *issues* it
doesn't mean that I have to like the guy or agree with him *all* the
time.

Everybody knows the only purpose for the military is for the poor to get an
education, not fight to protect this nation! That's why so many highly
educated people are joining the military.

You mean like the "issue" in his first movie? That idiot wanted GM to
keep open an assemble plant, that was making thousands more Buicks than they
could sell, because GM "owed it to the Union Workers?

The same fat slob millionaire who complained about the horrors of
capitalism, but made his movies in Canada because he did not want to pay the
wages charged by UNIONS in the US? Get real. LOL

I'm sure the president will be quaking in his shoes after he reads this
letter, if he even reads it.

I have seen Moore's movies & I do sort of respect him in a certain way
for bringing *out* issues but a side of me views him as yet another
oppurtunist making money. But this letter, reminds me of just another
ranting done in a newsgroup or some blog somewhere. It's the most
unintelligent thing I have ever read considering the issues he's
opposing. I agree that they are *VERY* inportant issues but writing them
in a letter oozing of seemingly immature rantings, I don't buy it.

Pardon me...<RALLLLLLLLLPH!>

Moore is nothing. He's definitely an opportunist.

If he were anything but, he would show his "Capitalism" movie for free.
