I agree with Moore more than I disagree with him, but take what he shows with a grain of salt. We all know how media entities like Fox News-ish Channel or Ann Coulter include this, exclude that, or spin things their way. Moore is a bit like anti-Fox. He doesn't flat out lie like Coulter, but he can't be 100% trusted at face value either. He is trying to make a point and he will do what it takes to make that point. Plus, I've seen him 'at work' in person, and he is a bit of a demagog with a crowd.

That said, from what I've heard he's dealing with a lot of things that the US commercial media are too scared/stupid/lazy to deal with, so I am looking forward to seeing it.

I completely agree with you tomdarch, you really do have take moore with a grain of salt. He can just as easily use things to get his point across that may be taken a little out of context like other forms of media. But I like you said I still want to see it because I believe by only getting all sides of the story can a person form their own valid opinions.

I'll go! I can't speak for them, but Sandy's down there all week with The Pirate, and they might go, too.

Wish I could go, but I will be on the way to Vedauwoo Friday morning...

Watched "Bowling for Columbine" in Hueco this winter. Pretty intresting take, but not totally objective.

Well, I could just join the Jet set like Yasmeen, and go to the movie then fly out the next day. But who would be there to pick me up? :wink:

And it is choss for sure. You should probably just make arrangements to climb at shelf instead...
