Yes Mr. Moore, for the most part we are living in a nation of idiots.
Even if you don't agree with his stance on issues, it's awesome to see how he is allowed to do what he does in America.
Nobody can deny that Michael Moore's style is that of extreme sacrasm backed up by partially exagerated factual data. I've seen each of his documentaries and they are all brilliantly done. Idiot Nation was just as good as any of his movies, and hopefully opened some people up to new views.
I love that only in America could you voice your extreme take on issues, bash on the former President, and bash over half the country and still make millions of dollars per year, and keep living for that matter. His most popular production, "Fahrenheit 9/11" was the highest grossing documentary in history. Grossing over $119M, yes that's in millions. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=documentary.htm
Michael Moore uses shock and awe to attract attention to himself. Like when he got up in front of the Oscar's and said, "Shame on you Mr. Bush!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7Is43K6lrg You should take the time to watch this to get to see how bold and daring this guy is. He has no shame.

Hello Michael,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you I don't know of many countries where a man can challenge the highest authority of the land in a very open way and live to tell about it. Michael Moore, is using to his advantage the protection of our constitution of free speech and capitalizing on it!
Ok Michael have a nice day and I see you in class on Thursday night.
by the way, I did enjoy your post it was well done with some serious thinking;way to go Michael!
I was actually shocked when I realized I was agreeing with everything Moore had to say about our education system. I'm going to be equally bold and say anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been in a public library or classroom for a while. I liked your post a lot! Plus you had facts to back everything up. Nicely done!
