Michael Moore
I am attending a lecture tonight by this activist/filmaker/writer . Odd thing is that I have not read any of his books yet. I have a read a lot of articles [both by him and about him] in newspapers. I guess I will purchase a copy his latest Dude, Where's my Country? . Seen him a lot on tv - seems to talk a lot sense - sadly. Must see his documentary movie - Bowling for Columbine too.
Since I have blogged here last, I have stumbled across a few conservative blogs - mainly US based. What a distinctly spooky lot they are. The arrogance, ignorance, self-righteousness, dare I say it - fascism - go on - look up its full meaning - is staggering. I think occasionally, they are well meaning people - but they really do need to "wake up and smell the coffee". They could do worse than dig out an unbiased history of the 20th Century. Read carefully the bits on totalitarianism - both of the left and the right, and the civil rights movement in the US - and while they're at it they might also dip into the histories of imperialism and slavery.
