414. You are entitled to your opinion about the guy. As am I. I am an American citizen, too.

I have as much right to make my views known as anyone who enjoys the rights and benefits of citizenship.

I haven't "trashed" him--I have expressed my opinion of him. I have backed up my opinion with facts. Now, if you can prove to me that he's given away all his money and lives in a tent, and didn't actively back King Ralph (who was taking money hand over fist from the GOP to be their Useful Tool) we've got something to talk about. Otherwise, we're just going to have to agree to differ.

I discussed my evolution with regard to my view of MM elsewhere in this thread. I'm not going to repeat what I said, but I do hold him partially responsible for his role in denying us the best hope for an environmental president, for playing a part in bringing us "W," and the attendant war and death that followed. The more people died, the more annoyed I became.

I don't demand that YOU feel the same way that I do, though--I can accept that people have differences of opinion, and I won't start questioning your sanity or parentage or commitment to progressive causes solely because you don't see things my way.

It'll probably be awhile before we are able to field a candidate as committed, knowledgeable, and respected, as AG was, and is. If we'll ever see another such candidate in my lifetime...

Time will tell if MM's last movie will actually be his last movie. He's fighting in a big way with the Academy right now (he is one of the Academy Governors) about the changed standards for eligibility of documentary films (more films are eligible now than were previously allowed, and he doesn't like that and wants the Academy to change the rules back to the old ways/old days--he will present his objections next week at a meeting of the Academy Board). His objections are not universally supported, so we'll have to see what comes out of that meeting.
