<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>For sure, it's gonna be MUCH worse in this one, I just hope he controls himself enough so that he doesn't completely drown out the point(s) he's trying to make. Like the points he made in Columbine, a lot of them will most likely be worth listening to.....even with incredible biasedness</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Moore exagerates certain things in his movies/books to make them entertaining... He knows that if he just wrote a bland expose of goverment corruption it wouldn't appeal to the masses. He, like Shakespeare, knows that to reach a large number of people you need to keep the proletariat entertained while feeding them the message. Kind of like putting pills in ice cream... or like Rage Against the Machine. I guarantee you that their message wouldn't have reached near as large of an audience if they hadn't been a rap/metal band.</div>
