Censuring and censoring are TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS. I can censure you for yelling "F_k" in the Congress, but you are only censored if someone stops you from saying it. One is reactive and the other proactive. Please, get a dictionary and look up the words. They don't mean what you think they mean. You will find one free on-line, dictionary.com

San Diego Union-Tribune 6/28 'Fahrenheit 9/11' As a young, retired U.S. Marine, I was encouraged to see large numbers of San Diegans attending "Fahrenheit 9/11." The showing I attended was sold out, and well received by an audience eager to oust the most incompetent commander in chief that has ever graced the Oval Office. I was also encouraged to see the diverse audience. Young and old, male and female, and multiethnic communities attended. This film illustrates that President George W. Bush has proved not to be the compassionate conservative once promised. Rather than uniting the country, Bush has polarized and divided. I highly recommend that all Republicans, Democrats, independents and nonpolitical people attend this film to get a different perspective, a perspective that completes the picture and proves that the U.S. media don't always report the whole story. Joseph Moreno, San Diego ******************************************* Pittsburgh Post Gazette 7/2 Missing the point I find it interesting that the most fervent critics of the movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" seem more obsessed with attacking Michael Moore than in taking on the points he makes in his film. Moore's film offers a dramatic and unapologetic critique of Bush and his administration. But the facts that serve as the basis for that critique have yet to be disputed. In fact, most, if not all, of the claims he makes are well known and part of the public record. If people think the case Moore makes is flawed, then they should debate the merits of that case. The failure of many right-wing critics to do so makes me wonder if they're more interested in playing politics than engaging in a genuine debate about the issues the film raises.
