Fahrenheit 9/11 or A message to the hardline republicans
Maryna and I saw Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 tonight. I have to say I was impressed. I wasn't really sure what to expect going in; there were a lot a people on the 'net (and elsewhere) calling this film "left-wing propaganda", and still others calling it genius...
