THE DANGERS OF DIALING 911

June 28, 2005

Thankfully I’ve never had to dial 911: I hope I never have to either. There is a 911 though that’s an option and that would be Fahrenheit 911- the movie. Let me spell out my prejudices up front on this commentary. I can’t disagree with Michael Moore any more than I do with John Kerry. It’s just that Kerry is a bit more civil, rational.

Moore makes no bones about his bias or his purpose to maiking his film: it’s to use film-making to defeat a president, senator, or elected official. In other words, Michael Moore wants to be the MAN who by way of FILM determines who gets elected and who does not. I have to give it to him for ambition.

One of the major problems that I have with MM is not that he is a Democrat, flaming liberal, or kook. It’s how he sees my country, America, that turns me off- BIG TIME! I think he truly hates the USA. There are at least 4 dozen statments that he has made- that make my point.

One of the more recent ones was this. In an interview with a Japanese newspaper, Moore helped citizens of that country understand why the United States went to war in Iraq: ëThe motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich.í Give me a break!

He has also said that he thinks “Americans are the most stupid people on the planet”. We’re certainly not a perfect nation or people. I don’t need to go see a movie to verify that; however, to make a political movie to enhance one’s bias, and call it a documentary, misses the mark greatly. His movie raked in $21 mil over the weekend. The danger of 991, MM, is that those who live by the sword die by it.
