3. Yes. I bought it lastnight.
It was very good. The climate change information wasn't anything I don't already know of already, though. But I thought it was very well presented. It was simple enough for the common man to understand. (I enjoy a bit more detail myself) I did learn a bit more about Al Gore, though. I didn't know that much about him. He would've made a good president. That part made me sad. America sure missed the boat on this one.

4. Fortunately, there's another boat coming around in 2008.
He would STILL make a good president.

5. i bought it a few days ago. it's a birthday present for my mon
who didn't make it to the theater with me or my daughter to see it.

i also bought "who killed the electric car" and just finished watching that today. great little movie.

along with "the big guy...tom delay's stolen congress" (a robert greenwald & brave new films documentary) (haven't watched it yet)

i've also got "why we fight" on order. i saw the preview for this on the electric car dvd: amazon has the description:

"Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions.
and
"He may have been the ultimate icon of 1950s conformity and postwar complacency, but Dwight D. Eisenhower was an iconoclast, visionary, and the Cassandra of the New World Order. Upon departing his presidency, Eisenhower issued a stern, cogent warning about the burgeoning "military industrial complex," foretelling with ominous clarity the state of the world in 2004 with its incestuous entanglement of political, corporate, and Defense Department interests. "

i'm getting pretty fucking sick of this war machine we've got cranked up in this country. my opinion/attitude is changing on this--i'm starting to believe it is no longer honorable to go into the military because you're only encouraging it to grow and grow and GROW. (just within the last week or so--i've been thinking the most honorable way to serve this country is to NOT JOIN THE MILITARY)

--sorry about too much information here. i realized you asked a simple question. my simple answer is yes.
