irate--i did not imply anything about agreement with moore .
what mattered was debate going on outside the theater----crowds lingered for a long time to talk about the film.

that is what you watch a doc for, isnt it? to provoke argument, reflection? otherwise, what is the point?

there are problems with the film--even though i am sympathetic with its goal, there remain problems. no-one is forced to any conclusion by the seamless presentation of irrefutable arguments.

the only thing that suprises me--still--is that the right remains afraid of it.

republican-friendly documentaries? why not try that fine video the christian coalition made in an attempt to defeat prop 2 in colorado, the one in which they argue that homosexuality caused god to smite athens, all said with a straight face?
