if there is ANY truth to it and it increases that awareness, then good for him but BETTER for all of US. But you see, I think that reasoning is faulty and dangerous and I'll tell you why. You cannot justify making a point at the expense of the truth, especially THAT point. The left(and I hate to overgeneralize but..) seems to see this as a "pay back" for Clinton. He does create false impression, like the scene with Al Gore in the Senate. He made it seem like a "whiteboys club" was muzzling blacks. I felt that was one of his themes. I sat next to a young black couple at the theater. Before the film I shared my popcorn and a couple of laughs. At the end, after what I saw a as a "racification" of the issues I wondered, "what are these people's impression of me"? As "nice" as they thought I might have been were they thinking in the back of their minds that yeah, "He's still one of them? Is THAT good? Or just the price of doing business? We are on the verge of losing our country to a faction that has no interest in the issues of the populace or in the principles upon which we founded the country It is this case that wanted to see presented objectively and factually. And in sofar as Moore has decided to depart from objectivety, I found his film useless in that regard and his role as messenger suspect at best.
