I've read Stupid White Men and even went to go see Moore speak recently, and even though I know much of his facts are skewed to be influential, I still think many of points he makes have merit. Like any political figure (and that's what he is), Moore uses statistics with accuracy of a blindfolded man with vertigo trying to hit a target with a bow and arrow after being spun around twelve times. Just look at any recent politician and the facts they use and try to discern the truth from the big, steamy piles of bullshit. Should we burn Moore at the stake for this, no. Should we demand that he and all political personalities start using the facts generated by studies funded by our tax dollars accurately, hell yes. But he still makes excellent points about the corruption of our political system by the money of big business, and the questionable foreign policy this country is currently engaged in.
The fact is, like with everything, if you're not thinking for yourself, then your living a lie, because everyone one that tells you something has their own agenda. Even me.
