to contemptible. I don't have time to look for a reference right now,
but I know similar statistics have been floating around the homeschool
lists for years.
I say that an American who can't find Great Britain on the map is
ignorant. I also say that this is not the same thing as stupid. I
suspect that this may have been Moore's point.

I'm not talking about the movie. I'm talking about the
person. My point is if he's going to suggest things
but not actually prove anything just plant the thought
in your mind, don't we need to examine the source?
If you read something on the internet you don't
believe unless you see it mentioned on at least one
trusted site. If Moore is the source let's see if we
can trust the source. No that you see he has a disdain
for Americans as a whole what do you think is his
motive for bashing Bush? Do you really think it ends
there or is he helping to turn the rest of the world
against America. First Bush and the conservatives,
then the entire country will collapse. Maybe to the
EU?
I don't know it to be true and I know it seems far
fetched but I'm just planting thoughts like he does.
Just pointing out it's something we've seen before and
should watch out for.
That's all. Who knows, it's probablly all an act to
sell movies. Maybe he loves America.
