Dan Bern. If you like literate lyrics and a good wit set to music,
he's definitely worth checking out. His God Said No from his CD
Drean of a New American Language give some nice insight into what
might happen if MMY tried to take Rick's suggestion of going back 40
years, or 30.

 When you have people acting like this and claiming

What Barry's so upset about is that I repeatedly

For example, here's a small sampling of Barry's

From alt.m.t:

November 3, 2004
In reality, [Bush] got 71% [of Americans] -- the
31% who were stupid enough to vote for him and
the 40% who were too stupid to even vote.

to vote.

Reading this again, I think I may have
misunderstood what Barry meant.  For once
he's being consistent; he's suggesting that
American voters *are not* intelligent enough
to tell fact from fiction.

I misunderstood because this makes no sense
as a reason for my wanting to ban the film.

Actually I *don't* want to ban it and would
fight any such action tooth and nail.  There
are other alternatives, which I'll get to in
a minute.

Barry's purported reason makes no sense
because the result of the film airing as
scheduled could very well be that the
Republicans would maintain their hold on
Congress.

Which would certainly demonstrate that
American voters are too stupid to tell
fact from fiction, but at an unacceptable
cost.

Apparently Barry would actually *like* the
Republicans to continue to control Congress,
just for the sake of proving that American
voters are stupid. I find that mind-boggling.

In any case, here are some alternatives
that do not involve banning the film:

-- Postpone the showing until after the
election, preferably putting it on a 
pay-cable channel, where it will more
clearly be perceived as entertainment
rather than as a factual presentation.

-- Show it as scheduled, but fix the
falsehoods in the film first (ABC is said
to be fixing *some* of them, but to what
extent is uncertain).

-- Show it as scheduled, but followed by
a response from representatives of those
who are falsely portrayed in the film,
or from members of the 9/11 commission,
documenting the inaccuracies.

(This last would be my preference; I don't
think ABC can adequately fix the falsehoods
without reshooting a good deal of the film, 
although if they'd be willing to do that
and show the film later, that might be the
ideal solution.  On the other hand, showing
it as it is, followed by a response, might
have the effect of waking some people up to
the propensity of the right wing to lie.)

The problem is not so much that American
voters are too stupid to tell fact from
fiction as that they aren't *aware* of the
facts to begin with.  If all they're aware
of is what the film tells them, that *is*
what the facts are, as far as they know.

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.

Obviously we do; you elected this crazy nitwit not once but twice !
On the other hand, Bob Brigante posted a beautiful post here some 
days ago where some writer stated that the american people are 
perhaps stupid, but they are not bad people. I agree on that. On my 
travels in the USA I have met countless intelligent, creative and 
good people. 

I think the american people has been manipulated to think that this 
Bush fellow is good for them, and somehow they belived it. The truth 
ofcourse is that this administration is a catastrophy for America.

They are sowing seeds that the american people has to pay, sooner 
rather than later. It seems like this time is now. Ordinary citicens 
pay 
the price. Today, more american soliders have been killed in Iraq 
than during 7/11 - and it will not stop, it will just continue and 
continue and continue untill the americans have had enough and hit 
the streets in 
demonstrations. The People, ordinary folks have power, they just have 
to show it, act ! 

Chaos reigns, likewise, in the political sphere. The nations are led 
by groups dedicated to the past, unable to see that their methods 
apply no longer to the needs of today and tomorrow. Blindfolded and 
arrogant, they strut the stage of life like out-of-date actors, 
unsure of their direction or their lines. The door marked EXIT looms 
large for these destructive usurpers of power.

As I said in my later post, the solution I would

That would accomplish two things: (1) make

 No we didn¹t. If votes had been accurately counted and black
 voters hadn¹t been made to stand in 8 hour lines or prevented
 from voting at all, he would have lost both elections. He only
 won through cheating.

But we let him cheat, so it amounts to the same thing.

The problem goes back to the Constitution. In my 
state of Massachusetts, the democrat always easily
wins all of the state's electoral votes. I believe
there is only once instance in my lifetime where that
did not happen, when Reagan carried the vote. This 
takes away the incentive for republicans to vote in
this state, and is a factor in more states than not.
