Why would I want to pay Moore to see his no counter point documentarial attack on the Bush when he himself has admitted that it is a bit "far fetched" and such.

Well, to extract a quote from below:

"But, really, in the end, not seeing "F9/11" would be like allowing your first amendment rights to be abrogated, no matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat."

Personally, you're free to feel how you feel (in fact, I served to help maintain those freedoms) but I have to agree with the above remark. I, being a somewhat intelligent and open-minded individual, have a hard time understanding people who hate something and do so without the privilege of having firsthand knowledge of it. Good thing everyone doesn't do that all the time, or so-and-so would would hate Asians merely because of all the stories his (biased) friends told him.

Me? I'm not scared of looking into something I disagree with just to see if all the related material I based my opinions on prior to this event were, in fact, erroneous themselves! Currently, on the US/Iraq topic, many many more highly educated/informed people than you and I have began to wonder what the heck was going on as there still have been no weapons of mass destruction and just recently, a panel has shown there to be (it seems) no connection between Al Queda and Iraq. You would think intelligent and open-minded people would begin asking questions instead of blindly accepting what the administration told them (us) over a year ago.

I am informed about Mr. Moores tactics and choices when it comes to making his documentaries. I may not have seen his movie to know that it is what it is.
