The Beauty of Truth: Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11

[Yavin4]

I just watched Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11 once more on Showtime. I remember last year seeing this film over the summer, and hoping that it would educate the American people. Then, after the "election" results, I was stunned to see so many Americans vote on the basis of Gay marriage instead of asking more questions that were brought up in that film.

After seeing it again tonight, I realized that there's a beauty to the truth that cannot be denied. Moore's film was factual. A millions times more factual than anything presented in the MSM, and even though millions of Americans dismissed it, it will live because it is true. The beauty of that truth cannot never be denied or ignored.

I also learned something else. Beauty and truth can be so overwhelmingly powerful that it takes a generation or so to see it. I'm grateful to Michael Moore for making that film. I'm grateful to him for making me feel sane in an insane world of lies. I'm grateful for the beautiful truth of Farenheit 9/11.

Thanks to Fahrenheit 911, millions of Americans discovered the link between the bin Ladens and the Bushes.

3. Exactly. I Think That Some of that Truth Is Changing America's Mind

about the war. I think that a lot of parents became wise about military recruiting because of that film.


If someone had made a documentary in 1966 saying that the Gulf of Tonkin was a lie, then maybe a few thousand lives would have been saved.


Truth is a powerful and beautiful thing.
