I do indeed understand the meaning of that title. Just for people reading this who don't know what we're talking about, Michael Moore borrowed the title "Fahrenheit 451" which was coined to refer to the temperature at which human flesh starts to burn (sorry for the graphic nature - but thats where it came from). Michael Moore used Fahrenheit 911 is limit where truth can no longer endure. He was referring to the "Patriot Act". Now for my comments. What I find impossible to believe is that there is no outcry from the masses. It points to a broken political system. Its impossible for me to comprehend how a second bush could be elected in a functioning democracy, not forgetting that Jeb is waiting in the wings. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
