After seeing Michael Moore's newest film a few weeks ago, I learned another important lesson in life that I added to the other things I learned after 21 years of being on this earth:
1. Never get into a fist fight with Mike Tyson. 2. Never play a one-on-one basketball game with Michael Jordan. 3. Never agree to a rap duel with Eminem. 4. If you can't sing and you know this, don't try out for American Idol so you can get verbally abused by Simon. There are others way you can get 5 minutes of fame. 5. Don't ever argue politics with Michael Moore. ;) BTW: I am still voting for President Bush. Because if he wins, Dana Carvey may do brief cameos on Saturday Night Live doing his famous impression of Papa Bush which has made me laugh since I was a kid. :D Now it is true that I am an ultra-conservative. At least I was. Granted, over the years I have changed some of my views to be more liberal such as abortion, gun control and yes, even the war in Iraq which I originally supported. But after watching Michael Moore's film I saw that I was wrong. I also am against the draft as well and any recruiters strong arming young people into joining. Thank goodness I look like Gomer Pyle from Full Metal Jacket. I am sure most recruiters would be scared if they saw me walking into Walmart. ;) Well, not really. But I do have dyslexia and A. D. D. and a few other learning disabilities which would hopefully keep me from ever being drafted. Or heck, I'd just tell them I was gay and show them my collection of musical soundtracks and all of my Oz episodes I have taped over the years. ;) Okay, okay enough cheesy jokes. Back on topic. Anyway, these days.........I'd label myself as being in the "middle of the road" and fall under the "undecided" category when it comes to the election this year. I'll have to listen to the debates between President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry before I finally decide. Now when you are undecided, you tend to be pretty popular and get more attention then anyone because both sides try to sell you the same thing. But even though I am all about the elephant for the most part, I ALWAYS give each side a fair listen. That is one of my few great characteristics. I should be a judge. That is why I went and saw Moore's film. To be fair. And you know what? He presents a very strong argument. He is a smart man. [Attacking him for his weight is a cheap shot too.] Like I said, it was his film and seeing the clips from Iraq and the actual facts that made me realize that the war in Iraq was wrong. It was "Bowling for Columbine" that now makes me support gun-control 100%. I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for Michael Moore. I think America is a great country, but it also has a lot of problems too and it needs to be cleaned up badly. Okay, enough sucking up to Michael Moore..... Now it's time to be fair and listen to what the conservatives have to say in response. http://www.michaelmoorehatesamerica.com Check that one out. When this movie comes out, if it is playing here in my hometown...I'll go and see it. But if anyone could get me to be more liberal and talk me into voting for Senator John Kerry, it's Michael Moore. Because twice now he has gotten me to change my views on things. Views I have had for ages but once I saw clips and saw the facts and such and heard a very strong argument, there was nothing I could say in response to defend my views on Gun-control and the war in Iraq of course. But as I said, I am still undecided. Moore's movies have made me more open-minded towards the issues of the world but I am probably still more Conservative then Liberal. |
