MICHAEL MOORE FLASHBACK: ' are possibly the dumbest people on the planet...'...

Take his description of his fellow countrymen and their blind pursuit of the American Dream: "They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet... in thrall to conniving, thieving, smug pricks.

"We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing. National Geographic produced a survey which showed that 60 per cent of 18-25 year olds don't know where Great Britain is on a map. And 92 per cent of us don't own a passport."

3. I like this part of "The Mirror" article..

"We British have no room to talk, as Moore will remind us when he launches his UK tour on Sunday at the London Palladium.

"What is your excuse for going to war? You have none. Your Prime Minister gave Bush the cover he needed. Well, thank you, Mr Blair. YOU are the one who gave us the Iraq war. I hold you more responsible for this mess than little Georgie. You see, Georgie is an idiot, but you, sir, are not."

"What if it turned out Blair was so concerned for the safety of the bin Ladens in the UK after one of them had blown up London office blocks he made sure a private plane went round the country picking them all up and flying them out? Just imagine the row. Yet over here it was silence."

"I'm going to do damage with it. I'll make sure that my work gets out. That no publisher will ever be able to tell me to take things out. Because I'll put it out myself. The more money I earn, the less they can stop me. Where I come from it's called f*** you money because I don't have to take an ounce of s**t from anybody.

9. Desperate, I guess

Here's a part of the article:

When I tell him his new book Dude, Where's My Country? has gone straight in at No 1 in our bestseller list, he's almost as astonished as I am that I've managed to halt his spleen: "Oh my God, I didn't know that. Wow that's like, amazing. Phew!"

Well, it is true. People here are mostly ignorant to their surroundings. I'll bet there's people that can't even name our Vice President. America has been completely dumbed down.

Just take a look at our so-called 'news' media. It's all fluff! As Jon Stewart pointed out last night on Larry King, why is it that for every news story, they have to have a point/counterpoint for it? And at the end of the three minute segment, nothing is really discussed or settled. Or why many of the points discussed in F 9/11 or on internet news sites are not even mentioned? Or why important things like this are brushed aside for the latest about Scott Peterson/J-Lo/Britney/Kobe/Michael Jackson? No wonder why we've become a culture of morons!

Once again, I actually agree with Michael Moore. He said something that people are afraid to bring up.
