My biggest problem is that his "documentaries" are expensive editorials either using actors, scripted scenes, or lines fed to unsuspecting bystanders just happy to be in a movie.

Uh...their first priority is not to the country, it is to their stockholders. If you have a 401(k) or other retirement instrument you are probably one of them (stockholder).

It is up to the PEOPLE (collectively) to make decisions in the best interest of the country. And the majority of those that care do so everytime there is an election.

apparently it was not a must listen; just thought some fellow refs would find it interesting, I figured he must have a chip on his shoulder. I still found myself believing that there is likely some truth to it, particularly his discussion of accountability, how is it that the nba has so many phantom calls, so many calls where you just scratch your head and say, wow that must have been a guess. I do not watch a lot of basketball anymore but my opinion, and it is not something you can prove, is that phantom calls rarely occur in college basketball while they occur regularly in an nba game. And phantom calls are completely different than making calls to benefit superstars (which I hate but may not be the fault of referees if that is what the league preaches).

And if you punch in "Dan is a liar", you'll get 2,120,000 hits. That's more than Bush.

Of course, searching for "Jeff is a liar" also gets you another 1,580,00 hits. That's more than Moore.

Don't tell Old School. He'll say "I told ya so!" :D

I agree, but there are some moral issues that should be apart of any company. If you are undermining the fabric of our country, then I do not have a lot of sympathy for your plight. Also understand when I say moral issues I am not talking about religion or even a political agenda. I just think some things in our society are for the greater good and just making money cannot be the only thing that this society needs.

I agree, but Moore has the right to inform the public about certain issues. Now if you do not like the information, do not accept it. No one is forcing anyone to attend the movies he makes or vote for his positions.

Peace
