I may have missed something. Which of these opinions of mine do you think are fiction? :-) For the record, I stand behind every one of them. I'm not sure what the final percentages in the election were, but I doubt I was that far off. Around 40% of Americans who could vote don't. In my opinion -- given the impact that an American presidential election has on them and on the entire world -- the only excuse for that is a near-terminal case of stupidity. And if you were honest, Judy, you'd admit that the reason that you want to censor this miniseries is that you think the American population is stupid, too. If you didn't think that, there would be *no reason* to try to prevent them from seeing a stupid revisionist-history mockumentary just before an election. I mean, your whole rationale for wanting the film not to be shown before the election is that *you* think the people are too stupid to realize they're being lied to, and will be tempted to vote "the wrong way" in the next election. I agree with you. We're agreed. An ENORMOUS percentage of Americans are so stupid they'd believe that a TV mockumentary is reality and vote accordingly. They're dolts. Homer Fucking Simpson is smarter than the average American voter. Where we're disagreed is in what to do about this. You want to control the things that they see and hear on television so that they don't get any "wrong" ideas and vote the wrong way. Excuse me, but isn't that the way the people you want to vote out of office think and act? Me, I think that if the Left wants to shift America to what they consider more positive ways of living and acting, they should make a few TV movies themselves showcasing those values and presenting them as options. But ferchrissakes they should stop whining so much when the Right whups their asses by being more media-savvy that they are.
