"...this might be the most patriotic film ever made." - F9/11

For your consideration: the final sentence of a column in the Santa Fe New Mexican (7/9/04) headlined:

'Fahrenheit 9/11': The temperature at which dissent burns

I make special note of this article because it was written by "Generation Next" columnist Sean Anderson-Branowitzer (Class of 2004 - Santa Fe HS). His voice is one of many beginning to arise from the current generation of teens and early 20s.

I know from conversations with other people in this generation, that they are going to see F9/11 -- and they are being electrified by what they are learning. They can see the handwriting on the wall.

I know also -- in my circle of acquiantances -- that a spirit of deep concern is afoot in this generation, not just here in Santa Fe, but also in Greater Boston. I love to hear the observations about this phenomenon -- awakening Generation Next -- from other DUers in other parts of the US of A.

At any rate, at long last, here's the concluding paragraph from the column -- a review of F9/11:

"It is a film that is best felt, not talked about. It's hard to leave the theater gabbing or laughing, and even harder to leave without thinking. If being patriotic means starting a debate about what's best for the country, this might be the most patriotic film ever made."

1. Is Bush a role model for leadership for Generation Next?

"By making the right choices, we can make the right choices for our future." - George W. Bush

I think not.
