It was alright. I've never seen any of his films so I didn't know what to expect. It makes me sad to see that the news media aren't doing their job. Shouldn't the evening news be interviewing the families of soldiers who don't make it back? Interviewing the soldiers in hospitals? There's really no balanced coverage in this country when you think about it...I think that's because today's generation of news consumers don't know what it would look like.<br>

Just announcing the names of the people who have died on television is considered SO political that it gets banned, so...<br><br><br>

But then, I live in Massachusetts - the most liberal state in the nation.<br><br>The surprising thing is, that most of the families seem to be very supportive of the war.<br><br>

Usually grieving families don't appreciate news cameras shoved in their faces. There is always complaining when this happens.<br><br>But I agree, every news organization seems to have a political bias. There's not much integrity in news anymore.<br><br>

my wife and i bought our tickets online last night. she is going at 6:15 and i am going at 9 -- since we have 2 small kids and didn't find childcare. my wife accidentally bought a ticket at a theater that is on the other side of town where we used to go before we moved. so, if that theater sells out, there will be one empty seat (since we switched to a theater nearby). <br><br>i'll be wearing my custom made kerry shirt:<br><br>[img]http://dzn.zazzle.com/isapi/design_shirt...amp;max_dim=325[/img] <br><br>----<br>smile!

I just saw Fahrenheit 911 btw.<br><br>It's really amazing how the current US administration made fool of the whole world. It's scary to see that they had the power to manipulate at least half of the country and the congress to go to a war which was based on simple lies. The best part was when they showed Bush/Cheney/Rhumsfeld saying that they are certain that there are WMDs and they have excellent intelligence for it. Than later they backed off a bit, than some more, etc... They made an ass of their mouth.<br><br>I have to add that I supported the war on Iraq, because I thought that it's good to get rid of Hussein. However I'm scared that if Bush&Co can go to war for no reason than what's next? USA supposed to be an example of great democracy, in fact now a shameful administration is in power that everyone laughs at. Sorry to say that, but it's the truth.<br><br>

I've seen that shirt around. It's pretty funny. On the back it says, "I'm with Stupid" and an arrow pointing to Kerry.<br><br>"You're off the edge of the map, mate! Here there be monsters!"
