Saw F9/11 again last night, and you know what? I wasn't impressed.
The first time I saw it, I thought, COOOL. Wow, I never knew. I only suspected.
now, it turns out that things are far, far worse than than anything Mike put on the screen. It almost seemed as though he was pulling his punches and trying to say things without saying them.

Actually, the bastards in charge of the country are craven, power-hungry, manipulative, lying, cheating SOBs, who care nothing about their oath of offfice and want only one thing - total domination of government, in order to reward their friends and to line their own pockets.

Power, money, greed and control - that defines them. Mike Moore did not get that across much at all. If anything, his movie is almost quaint.
I still like his editorial style though. I only wish he and we knew then what we know now.

2. I hear you.
That's how it hit me when I saw it (but I've been afraid to say).

3. Things have gotten worse.
No, that movie had a powerful effect when it came out, but if it came out now, it would be a yawn. We've gotten used to such horror and corruption.

He needs a new movie.

4. Maybe Moore's understanding has evolved at the same pace as ours.
And I guess that's still light years faster than almost anyone in Washington--even those on our side. The biggest frustration to me has always been that Democratic leaders just don't--or won't--get it.

5. it was a snapshot in time of what was NOT KNOWN THEN ... I am
still sooooo grateful that he was willing to expose THAT naked emperor ... perhaps now it's the turn of each and all of us: WE THE PEOPLE ... a new format may be needed now, but still the current state of affairs BEGS for a revolution of ideas and return to Constitutional principles
