1. Wow, all I can say is if you haven't woken up by now, it's likely...

you never will, or you refuse to wake up.

2. Couldn't say. Heard Michael Moore exaggerated

the peace that "existed" in Iraq before the invasion. He didn't need to take any licence. Enough out there to do a great film only on the bare facts. The part with the grieving mother was excellent and so true. Though it really didn't hit home in North America till Cindy Sheenan drove it home. War hurts.

3. I have FARENHEIT 911 in my hard drive. I'll burn a DVD

tonight and leave it in the drivers dispatch room tomorrow.

4. I will say I finally saw it last week.

I had thought at the time it came out, it was too political, too over my head... etc.

Quite an eye opener. I was brought to tears in the first 20 minutes.

5. YES!!!

I have an aquaintance here in Toronto, who is also an American citizen. (We're both native New Yorkers).

He had been a BIG Bush supporter from day one. His biggest point was always: "Bush is a man of ACTION. He says something, and he DOES it. He KNOWS what STRONG leadership is all about."

Confident that his faith in Bush could not be shaken, he agreed to see 'Farenheit 911' with his cousin, who was visiting from NYC.

The next time we crossed paths, we were with a group of people, and one of them touted Bush's 'strong leadership, man-of-action' qualities.

The aforementioned aquaintance, for the first time, remained silent. When asked why he wasn't jumping in to support his idol, he said, "I used to think those things about him. I don't anymore." He said that the scene of Bush sitting in the kindergarten class reading 'The Pet Goat' after having been told the country was under attack, changed his mind forever.

So you NEVER know exactly which straw is going to break the camel's back - but once broken, it's game over.

8. I think more people should see this film...

6. My brother changed his mind when he saw it...

but changed back to pro-bush later, who knows why...

9. Probably the company he keeps...

7. Yes...

not long before the 04 (re)selection. My boss - who, when he saw it had W stickers on his vehicles, and * signs in his yard. He saw F911, tore off the stickers, took down the yard signs. I gave him a Kerry sticker, and urged him to pass on what he had learned.

2 days after the election, I was laid off, along with about 20 other people just in that day. Not my boss's fault, the decision was way above him at the corporate level - after all, why did they need a plant secretary (me), when they were outsourcing the manufacturing jobs (pretty much everybody else) in that plant? I felt really bad for him - he hated it, and had to lay off people who were less than 6 months from retirement, people with 20 years service, et cetera. He hated it. About a month later, he quit too, went to work at a company that was small and local.
