Im going to see it late tonight, should i close my eyes when they show The President?


equal time laws should only apply to the media, they are there to help the little guys, and are meant for political COVERAGE, not the actual showing of the image of the president.


Meaning, if a news program wants to debate bush for 15 minutes, then, in an election year, they have to devote equal time for Kerry, or any other candidate.

This is all hogwash, limiting free speech is the path that leads to the road of censorship. If the government, and all of its partisan bullshit, doesn't want itself painted in a bad light, then stop doing things that paint them in a bad light. And certainly do not try to retroactively go back and erase the backdoor politics and doublespeak that got you where you are today. That is the problem with politics on many ends, you must cheat, steal and double deal, misspeak, make false promises, etc, to get to the highest offices in the land, but then once you get there, you want to rewind and play Mr Smith goes to washington, and pretend those promises aren't being kept.



Ill let you know how the movie is. I thought Bowling for columbine was very well made. I did not agree with parts of it, but it hit nerves and was a well put together and well directed documentary.


The best part of the whole movie is when Heston exposed himself as the double talker he really is. how he is representative of nothing, but merely a politician. And how Moore brought to light that not all NRA members spout the propoganda he is paid handsomely to scream at his rallies, and how he is a man of little moral value in the face of much greater demons.

Grimm I thought I had you broke of all that liberal crap?!?!?!
