I am not from the USA so i dont actually know! I mean all we get is the media and people like bush are sent up so much that its hard to have a proper view. I mean theres a lot more foolish people than him in the usa surly!
Jerrek said moore and I can see wheres he is coming from while i like his books and films a lot of them are funny but not a fair view.
For example in Bowling for...... he shows a town where a child got shot then shows the presedent of the NRA going to the town a fews day later and saying guns would be banned over "dead body" (not his actual quote which had something to do with hands but i forgot it) It turns out that he said this months before at another location and when he went to the girls town he gave a talk about responsabilty and payed tribute to the girl. However moore edited it so it showed what was shown.
This is what I mean by media and how it can look. Also he comes out as anti-men and pro-women and suggests that men are not needed in stupid white men (towards the end). He himself is a man and some of his views about this are scarly.
While I dont think he is foolish i dont think he is a hero etc etc He lies and changes footaage and statstics to suit his own means, just what he accusses the American goverment of doing
