Hey Mike -
Michael Moore - you mean Chomsky for Children <s>
I think the to be the AntiChrist you'd have to be a serious person and not a self promoting posturing blowhard. I have seen his movies. I was so glad I did not agree with most of his basic premises because I would be very very embarrassed if I thought he represented my views. I don't like my intelligence insulted and Moore's style ( and most of his content ) insults the very idea of intelligence.
I'm more concerned by the degradation of any kind of rational discouse and mau-mauing of serious issues than I am about the positions of either side. I am disgusted with people like Moore for the same reason I abhor Pat Robertson. These guys are light-weights with intellectual content that is on a level with the "defense of marriage" act or the next 100 words out of the mouth of Cynthia McKinney.
>>I was out back mowing the lawn and stopped to chat with the lady on the other side of the fence. Somehow Michael Moore's name came up and we realized neither of us considers him the antichrist. (As do so many who have never even seen any of his movies). She laughed and said we better not let the neighbors find out.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
