One More Thing

A must-read (sorry, I hate to use the term "must-read") open letter to President Bush, written by Michael Moore.

Personally, I don't like Moore. Every since I read his Stupid White Men I just can't get over the fact that he seems to oppose the "other side" just for the sake of it. Not only that, but he has the same black and white "with is or against us" argument that I can't stand.

I hear what you're saying Fence, but he doesn't really pretend to be objective. He definitely has has own political spin, but he brings up some very good points--as well as the horrible truth that the governments of the world don't want us to know.

I think Moore feels that he has to be that way to combat the "other side", who in this case happens to be a bunch of corrupt, unscrupulous power-seekers. The Cult of Bush will crush rational human beings without the work of Michael Moore and others like him. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

He does raise interesting points, and I liked a lot of his earlier stuff, I just think he has gotten too big and so full of his own self-importance. Almost like George Lucas, no one points out that changing something might be a little better :)

I do prefer objectivity, so his own spin turns me off, but at the same time he is worth reading. After all, we are pretty much forced into finding out what the other side says, so it is only a bit of balance.
