Dear George- I admit, I wanted to see the movie to get fired up. To get pissed off. But, surprise, I felt more sick to my stomach after seeing it than I had expected. To think that this guy is running our country. OH MY GOD. The opening was tear jerking for sure. I think Moore got into it a little heavy with the supposed relationship between the Bushes and the Saudis. I got bored with that. The best thing for me was seeing Shrub sitting there in the classroom with the kids for 7 minutes after the first tower was hit. DUH. I thought perhaps he didn't want to upset the kids!- but then I realized Bush DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO##%^$&$^&%^* That and seeing the Taliban in Texas scared the socks off of me. I mean WHAT IS THE TALIBAN DOING IN TEXAS???? But the most surprising thing for me was seeing all the African-American House of Representative congressmen and women trying to get just one senator after Gore won the election and they were protesting, with Gore ASKING them, one by one, did you get a senator? And not one senator stepped up to the plate. Not one. Our TERRIFIC media never bothered to show us that. I didn't even know about it. And so now we are stuck with this neocon, idealogic, dumbass, lying president that has killed and maimed our children for no reason. And now I understand he thinks he might try and put off the election due to "threats"…… I say bravo to Michael Moore. For doing whatever he needed to do to get this doc out there. I am hoping fence-sitters will go to this movie and vote for John Kerry. I also hope some of our Republican friends will go-and see how far down Bush has brought our country. And admit it and also vote for John Kerry. I know the truth hurts but everyone owes it to themselves to see this movie at least with a halfway open mind. Every Republican I know says they are NOT voting for Bush again. This is a good sign. Maybe I won't have to move to Canada after all.

tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without
thinking of the bigness of what you stand against, if you turn to the enlargement
of your own capacities,just that in itself creates new potential.--Vandana
