Gentlemen,

Congratulations -- and thank you -- for doing precisely what I'm certain
the director/producer intended: namely, discussing an important,
complex, and inherently tiresome topic with an energized mindset. Surely
Upton Sinclair and Ralph Nader had their critics as well.   

In a country where something like twice as many citizens can name an
American Idol finalist than the Chief Justice of the United States, Mr.
Moore should be congratulated for luring half a million people to just
over 400 screens to watch an overtly sociopolitical treatise.  

The merger of public policy and popular culture is a two-edged sword:
those who defend Faux News can hardly complain about Michael Moore.

Ken,

I am in awe!  What you have written is (as usual) well said - balanced,
fair, and without bias. 

I expect that this will show up in the New York Times, Washington Post
and the Chicago Sun Times - NOT!  As with Mr. Moore, all of these
political - OOPS - publications would probably not print something this
analytical and balanced.  Just the same, I think that your piece should
be submitted to as many publications as possible as an Op ED.

Congratulations...and thanks for continuing to say what needs to be
said - and, at the very least, for functioning as a moral compass!

Ron
