What a great film. Who's seen it here? Do you agree with the films assertions? In part? In totality?

Other than an erroneous comparison to Germany (Nazism being the end RESULT of centuries of collective defensiveness, rather than a causive effect) I thought the film was spot on.

I personally loved the interview with the balding bearded guy, who said "When a govt turns tyrranical, it's our DUTY to overthrow it". Moore then brought up Ghandis SUCCESSFUL NONVIOLENT overthrow of the British Empire - the strongest military force of it's day - and this guy's response was "Oh I'm not familiar with that.."

LOL!
