Election Day!

My younger sister, about 2 weeks ago, made me promise to watch Fahrenheit 911. I couldn't talk to her about what was portrayed in the movie until I did, which is a fair request. But I promised and a promise is a promise.

Jen and I sat down last night and put the movie in and started to watch it. It was powerful, disturbing and thought provoking......Which was the intension I suppose.

It just happened that FarenHype 911 was at the video store also, so I picked up that one too. After Moore's movie I commented to jen that if we stopped and made our judgments right now it would decidedly be on the side of Moore's opinion. Hype came on and took every fact that Moore used and told the truth about it!

Now I know what you are thinking "it is a republican movie", no it was not. This was made with Dick Morse, who was Clinton's top advisor.....It was his addiction to the movie that sealed it for me.

Actually the most disturbing scene's for me were the interviews with the people that Moore stole footage of. Remember the guy with the blown off hands......HE WAS PISSED that Moore took his footage. Moore wasn't even there, it was just him explaining what phantom limbs felt like. He couldn't believe that he was part of moore's film and was embarrassed that he was associated.......With no repercussions.

Or how about that state patrol officer talking about "Bush's" budget cuts on Oregon's police force? Well they interview him also, again Moore was never there, it was actual footage of him telling about what the budget cuts were doing to their police force. Oh by the way the state police are paid for fully by the STATE, not federal government....Bush had nothing to do with the budget cuts.......Oh yea the coast is not their responsibility to guard....That would be the coast GUARD's job.

Or how about the newspaper headline that stated that gore had more votes. Turns out the paper he got that from was from a small town in Illinois that is suing Moore for taking the "letter to the editor", yep that is right not an actual article written by professionals just by a local reader, and not only changing the date on the article but rearranging the article all together.

Who ever you vote for please don't take one movie's point of view....Watch both. Moore's movie is not a documentary but rather propaganda.
