patently ridiculous! an apology for what? I have always been respectful of you, despite being a non believer in the perfect method. why not start your own thread with the calls? Put it in the journal section, magna will keep the riff raff out. you don't have to keep riding on others coat tails. start your own thing, prove your methods--- surf
Judging my film by the title "Broke" might be a mistake...Sat through a private screening in Westwood today of Moore's new film where he was there for Q&A after...interesting film. Some good. Some bad.
Moore's film ends with recently uncovered video of FDR saying this on January 11, 1944: A roomful of college kids last night stood and cheered wildly at this proposal.
I was shocked when a roomful of people in this country jumped up and cheered wildly at the government possibly mandating/legislating such squishy notions as: How obtuse does one have to be to see the impossibility of those ideas legislated by the government without changing the entire structure of the United States? Conceptually, fine, but executing this? Come on.
Astounding how far America has moved to the left in the past two years. And very worrisome. If one relies on Government for his own well-being, and not on his own effort and talent, his lot is sure to be a poor one indeed.
I concur. some media savvy person without a political agenda like mr. limbaugh and the rest of the repubicrat talk show hosts--- NEEDS to present the other side in a clever, non partisan manner--- OR the death of capitalism is a given.... surf
Communist manifesto? How about, "Be responsible for yourself or perish"? Or as Grandpa said, "the world doesn't owe you a living"... The "American Dream" was never about one being provided for, sustained and supported throughout your lifetime simply because you were born... but rather the FREEDOM to pursue your own course in life... WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT UP YOUR ASS AT EVERY TURN...
I thought about these very issues in making "Broke". There are Republicans and Democrats in my film in interviews. In terms of politicians I nailed the whole system. You are right -- the partisan stuff has been trumping right/wrong and common sense to the detriment of everyone. There were 400+ people in the Mann Bruin Theatre Weds night to see Moore's new film. Seriously, when the end of Moore's film plays this long lost video of FDR from 1944 promising the world...the place went nuts. I sat there just fascinated that in a split second all of these people thought it was doable. To call me the minority would have been an understatement. On the flip side Moore does nail GS and the bailouts. Someone could do a whole film on GS and its tentacles.
