That's an interesting answer. I don't think of anti-fur people as being in any connected to the left wing. I suspect that you label them leftists because some of them are extremists, and perhaps in your mind extremism equals leftist. It's like the Green Party, whom everyone presumes to be leftist, but here in Canada (at least) hold some views, especially WRT immigration and economics, that are normally identified with the right wing. As for Michael Moore, I think his politics are pretty reasonable, and although I'll admit that his filmaking style is "in your face" and abrasive, I don't see him as any more zealous than some guy like Rush Limbaugh or Pat Robertson. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
